HPD: Robbery victim shot in the face outside west Houston club

The victim is expected to survive. He told police he's not sure why he was targeted.

HOUSTON — Police are looking for suspects who they said shot a man in the face during a robbery outside a west Houston club early Friday morning. The victim's family later tracked down the victim's phone at a different location.

The victim was from Dallas and was shot and robbed outside The Perfect 10, a club on Richmond between Fountain View and Hillcroft, at around 4:55 a.m.

Police tracked the victim's phone to a spot near the club using GPS, only to find out that his family members had already found it.

"Unfortunately, he didn't have any idea why they robbed him," Detective Ken Nealy with the Houston Police Department said. "He just said he was out at a nightclub and not sure if they liked the clothing and some of the jewelry he had on, but that was some of the demands made by the suspect, and some of his property was taken during the robbery."

Several family members of the victim were allowed to leave once police collected guns from their vehicle. Those will be checked to see if they've been involved in any crimes. Meanwhile, the victim is expected to survive.

We were checking with management to see if they had any comments or surveillance video. That's something police are checking into, as well.

If you know anything about this crime, you're asked to call the police.
