A lawyer for a customer who shot and killed a robber in a Houston taqueria last week said his actions were justified because he was ‘in fear of his life.’
Eric Eugene Washington, 30, died after being shot nine times – with one bullet hitting him execution-style in the head – by a vigilante customer who was said to be ‘protecting everyone’ in the restaurant.
A Texas grand jury will decide whether or not criminal charges should be brought against the still unidentified shooter, but in a statement, attorney Juan L. Guerra Jr. said he was within his rights and that the jury will agree.
