Construction worker reportedly shot in attempted robbery on Atascocita Road

The Harris County Sheriffs Office is investigating an armed robbery which occurred at a church under construction in Atascocita.

Around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, Jan. 7, a worker was reportedly shot in the arm as two armed robbery suspects entered the construction site of a ministry center in the 100 block of Atascocita Road.

According to HCSO, one of the suspects, dressed in dark clothing and armed with a gun and a small knife, fired several shots.

A deputy told to the Sheriffs office that one of the suspects began yelling, Give me everything you have, before the shooting, Tebben Lewis, spokesperson for HCSO, said.

Before leaving, they stole two cell phones and an undisclosed amount of cash from the workers, but nothing from the site itself.

HCSO reported that both suspects hopped a fence and escaped to a nearby apartment complex. They are still at large.

The victim was transported to Northwest Houston Hospital, and his condition is unconfirmed. Authorities are asking citizens with information about the suspects to contact Crime Stoppers at 712-222-TIPS.
