HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Investigators are working to find out if charges will be filed against a man accused of shooting two customers over a waitress' stolen phone on Saturday.
The Houston Police Department said the incident unfolded at a sports bar along Lyons Avenue and Boyles in the Denver Harbor area.
Just before 2 a.m., a waitress reportedly noticed her phone had been stolen from behind the bar where two men were drinking together.
Police said a manager looked at surveillance video showing one of the two customers at the bar had taken the phone.
That's when the woman decided to call her boyfriend and confront the customer.
"She confronted him and said, 'Hey, please give me my phone back.' He wouldn't do so. He lied and said he didn't take it. At that point, she called her boyfriend, who was close by - he's the individual who did the shooting. He comes over to this location and confronts the two males or the one who supposedly took the phone, and they actually get into a physical tussle," Lt. R. Willkens with HPD said at the scene.
Willkens said the boyfriend grabbed a gun out of his car and started hitting the man who allegedly took the phone.
"The other male comes out of the bar - comes out and tries to help his buddy. They're both fighting the one male with the gun - who is the boyfriend - and he ends up discharging his gun twice, hitting one in the torso and the other one in the torso," Willkens said.
The two customers who were shot are expected to survive, according to police.
Authorities said the shooter and waitress stayed at the scene and cooperated with officers.
Investigators will talk to the district attorney's office to determine if charges will be filed.
If someone steals your stuff, that person’s death should be an option.
“Don’t Mess With Texas” isn’t about littering anymore.

Yes. But the Houston DA is a Democrat. If she’s woke enough, she can make the shooter’s life miserable. As the old saying goes, the process is the punishment.
A really nice part of town, like River Oaks.
Most importantly, did she get her phone back?
As does Idaho.
Did she get her phone back?
“ Willkens said the boyfriend grabbed a gun out of his car and started hitting the man who allegedly took the phone.”
Bad shoot. If he had been carrying at the time, and drew to defend himself, maybe not.
Yes, but it took a bullet.
Just kidding.
Maybe.
Good on the BF. I would give him a medal. The two creeps are not identified at all. So dollars to donuts Hispanic illegals. That’s how they are. You show them proof, they continue to deny. We’re stuck with millions of them and they all love the smartphones almost as much as their gold necklaces and flip flops for their bare stinkin’ feet.
I’m guessing a white waitress, and non-white perp.
Not a good night to be a torso.
I would have called the phone. Hard to deny you have when it starts ringing.
We’re in trouble if they give up boostin’ hub caps and catalytic converters for cell phones and copper from Tesla charging stations.
She is.

And all of them could have ended up dead in the parking lot. All over a cellphone belonging some dumb woman who didn’t secure it
“”..hitting one in the torso and the other one in the torso...”
“Not a good night to be a torso.”
LOL. The entire article is comical. I think the reporter was sitting at the bar when it was written...
The waitress calls the boyfriend who is in the bar and he takes a gun from his car - his car was in the bar?
Same thing. I don’t consider the Aztec/Mestizo invaders as White. Even though that’s what the MSM and the Feds say they are. So they can list the population of a U.S. city as 97% White, even though 90% of those “Whites” came from Colombia and Venezuela.
“Police said a manager looked at surveillance video showing one of the two customers at the bar had taken the phone. “
...So the “Manager” saw that a crime was committed and had proof, yet apparently did nothing to solve the problem. there is more to this story than is being told.
