Driver allegedly kills innocent bystander while trying to mow down domestic partner: Police A driver could face a possible murder charge after he allegedly struck and killed an innocent bystander on a sidewalk in Houston early Sunday while attempting to mow down his domestic partner, according to police. The incident unfolded around 3 a.m. after patrol officers in the city’s Midtown area responded to what they initially thought was a gunshot and found the mortally injured victim on the sidewalk, Robert Klementich, a spokesperson for the Houston Police Department, said during a news conference. “It’s my understanding that the victim, the decedent, was actually the manager of one of the nightclubs and was preparing to go home,” Klementich said. STOCK PHOTO/Adobe Stock Witnesses, including the alleged intended target, told police the suspect and his domestic partner were involved in an altercation at a nightclub and left the establishment, Klementich said. “Upon leaving the establishment, the male got into the vehicle and started driving around and struck multiple vehicles,” Klementich said. Klementich said the driver’s domestic partner alleged to investigators that the suspect, whose name was not immediately released, intended to strike her with the vehicle when he hit the innocent bystander. “She was able to get out of the way,” Klementich said of the suspect’s companion. With help from witnesses, police officers located the suspect several blocks away and took him into custody, Klementich said. Klementich said police and prosecutors are looking into possibly filing a murder charge against the suspect, alleging it was an “intentional act” to try to hit his partner. – This Summarize was created by Neural News AI (V1).
