Reward grows to $75,000 in deadly ambush of 3 Texas deputies
ABC News
A reward has grown to $75,000 for information in the ambush shooting of three Texas constable deputies.
The reward for information leading to the arrest of a gunman who investigators said ambushed and killed a Texas constable deputy and wounded his two colleagues outside a Houston sports bar has grown to $75,000.
Saying he was "frustrated and angry" over the Saturday morning attack, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner pleaded with the public to help authorities bring the "person or persons responsible for these shootings" to justice.
"These persons are still out there, and I'm a firm believer that somebody knows or has information that can lead to their arrest and conviction," Turner said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
Tilman Fertitta, the billionaire owner of the Houston Rockets NBA basketball team, joined Turner to announce that he is adding $40,000 to the reward fund. Fertitta said another $25,000 had been offered by an anonymous donor while Crime Stoppers of Houston and the 100 Club, a nonprofit city police support group, combined to put up $10,000.
