Harris County, Texas man chased down the suspect who allegedly stole his grill, before firing his gun at the man and killing him.
A preliminary investigation revealed the dead man allegedly attempted to steal the shooter’s BBQ pit from his home.
After discovering his grill had been stolen, the homeowner left his home and chased down the suspect in his own vehicle, Gonzalez said.
When the homeowner caught up with the man who was fleeing with the BBQ pit, just a short distance away, he confronted two individuals inside a vehicle.
The man told police he believed the driver of the suspected vehicle was possibly in possession of a weapon.
Gonzalez said the homeowner feared for his own safety and fired his own gun at the suspect, striking him.
