This may end of being a bit of a ramble post so sorry and forgive me.

My FIL was telling me a story about one of his coworkers from work. The guy was driving home and went to change lanes in Houston from the left to the center lane. When he changed lanes he heard someone honking at him so he jerked back into his lane. Once back in his lane he heard a loud "pop". The guy thought one of his tires may have blown.

So the guy proceeds to start to slow down but notices that everything seems to be normal. He then notices light shining in from his rear passenger door. The guy pulls over and discovers that the loud "pop' was a gunshot and a bullet hole in his door.

He calls HPD and files a report. This happened at the end of April and as of this weekend HPD still hasn't opened a case or seem to be interested in opening a case. The guy said the car was Nissan Sentra Sedan plate# JJY3835.

So I told my FIL I would bring the case to the great minds of the OB to get advice and/or any info yall can give on what the guy can do going forward. And yes the obvious advice of trying to make sure someone isn't in your blind spot.


Short version: A guy my FIL knows was shot at while driving and looking for advice.

HPD has a no blood no foul policy....

Serious response.... does he know he was in Houston city limits? It could be lost in the jurisdictional shuffle. He might try contacting Harris Co Sherrif or the Constable for where he was.

For them to move your case forward, my experience with HPD is that you will need to do all of the plate running. You might need to find the addresses, recreate the scene, take your own notes, as well as do all of the detective work on recovering the bullet. Aside from that, all you'll need to do is buy a facility to run ballistics and see if you can find someone to trace the bullet to a weapon, it might be registered. Once you have worked on this for a month or more, go ahead and compile a report. You should be able to get the detective's name that is assigned to the case. Then just get him all that stuff and he'll take it from there.

Do we really want to set the OB loose on a person unstable enough that shoots at people who cut him off on traffic. Because thats how SWAT teams end up having to become involved....

This dude must be cruising down the highway with his piece at the ready. If this transpired as quickly as it sounds, that's damn fast timing on getting to a weapon and getting a round off while traveling down the highway.

Crazy world we are living in fellas.
