Baucom had worked at Cracker Barrel for 34 years.

According to investigators, just after 6 a.m., a suspect in a newer model Dodge Charger got out of the passenger side of the car and tried to steal an employee’s purse at the Cracker Barrel in the 14800 block of the North Freeway. The business was not open at the time and authorities said the employee was outside ringing a bell to get in when Baucom tried to push back on the door and was shot.

Baucom was taken to an area hospital in critical condition but was later pronounced dead, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Robin leaves behind a husband, three kids and three grandkids.
