Pretty sad commentary of the state of events when it's not safe to be a friggin'
ice cream man anymore.
A push-cart vendor selling ice cream was fatally shot Thursday afternoon near an apartment complex in southwest Houston, police said.
According to a witness, the victim was seen speaking with someone in a small red vehicle. The vehicle sped off and the victim was found on the ground with a gunshot wound, witnesses told police.
"We don't know whether it was a robbery, or retaliation or random," said Detective Darcus Shorten with the Houston police homicide division.
Pretty sad. Sounds like some kind of gang initiation for a bunch of pussies.
