Police say they believe the man was robbed at a nearby apartment complex before driving himself to a shopping center.
HOUSTON – Houston police are investigating after a man was found with a serious head injury after allegedly being robbed and struck with either a stick or club.
Officers responded to Westpark and Gessner Road after getting two separate calls. One was from a third-party and said there had been a road rage shooting. The other call was from the victim, who said he had been robbed by a known individual and then struck in the head.
Lt. Larry Crowson said the man was found at a shopping center in a vehicle. He had an injury to his head and was transported to a hospital in critical condition.
Crowson also acknowledged the situation is a bit confusing.

Crowson says they haven’t ruled out the possibility of the victim being shot and said there may have been a shooting nearby, but do believe the man was robbed at a nearby apartment complex before making his way to the shopping center.
Crowson also said the man may have come into a store at the strip mall earlier in the day with an injury to his head, although not as severe as when they found him.
He says they know who the suspect is and believe this to be an isolated incident.
