HOUSTON — A man was shot and killed Thursday during a robbery in the line of a Whataburger drive-thru in the Galleria area, according to police.
The man killed was found in a crashed vehicle near the shooting scene. Police are trying to figure out if he was a suspect in the robbery or a victim.
It happened at the Whataburger on Chimney Rock just south of Westheimer Road.
Houston police said several people pulled up to rob a man, and at some point, several shots were fired.
Two cars sped away from the shooting and crashed into each other just blocks away. That's where HPD found the injured victim.
He was taken to a nearby hospital where he died.
Workers at the food truck park across the street from the Whataburger said they weren't surprised to hear about the shooting and a bullet going through the window of a nearby business.
"I have been working here about two years," a woman said. "It's not really uncommon for things to happen, especially in this area."
Another woman said robberies have been happening a lot -- people getting their chains snatched and women getting their purses stolen.
Workers said they're scared every time they hear of a different crime nearby because they worry about their families and are scared it could happen to them.
No suspects have been arrested as of Thursday night. An investigation is ongoing.
