A Houston Black Panther organization called for the arrest of a store clerk after a confrontation that left one man shot in the stomach. The Black Panthers led a march yesterday.
Street thug Alexander Calloway was shot after assaulting the clerk at 3:30 in the morning.
The protesters claimed Calloway was an innocent young father.
KHOU reported:
As family members of a man who was shot by a Valero clerk in southeast Houston called for the store clerk’s arrest, the store owner released surveillance video.
Alexander Calloway, 21, and his two cousins were trying to enter the gas station on Martin Luther King and Belarbor around 3:30 a.m., but the store was locked.
The young men got into an argument with the clerk, who unlocked his door and came outside, police said.
Someone punched the clerk in the face and the clerk pulled out his gun and shot Calloway in the stomach, according to HPD.
Calloway’s cousins rushed him to a fire station on Cullen at Selinsky, and paramedics transported him to Ben Taub Hospital in critical condition.
On Tuesday, the store owner played the surveillance video for KHOU 11 News.
It showed the store clerk being punched by Calloway before the clerk opened fire.
Community members marched in front of the store and demanded justice. Calloway’s father blamed the clerk for what happened to his son.
