Aldine, Texas



From the Houston Chronicle of December 21, 2004
Homeowner shoots, kills intruder in Aldine



A 79-year-old homeowner shot and killed a man who broke into his Aldine area home early today, Houston police said.



The intruder, Robert Hinojosa, 19, of the 200 block of Gulf Bank, was shot one time in the abdomen and died later at Ben Taub Hospital, investigators said.



Hinojosa was burglarizing the residence in the 500 block of Turney near the North Freeway when the homeowner woke up around 1:30 a.m., police reports show. The elderly man repeatedly told Hinojosa to leave, but Hinojosa would not.



The man then shot Hinojosa once while both were still inside the house, police said. No charges have been filed, and the case will be referred to a Harris County grand jury for review.
