HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A woman has been arrested and is now facing felony charges after police say she helped kidnap a man at gunpoint outside of a southwest Houston nightclub.<\/p>\n
According to police, it happened on June 1 along South Gessner Road as the victim was leaving a club and preparing to call an Uber.<\/p>\n
Investigators say the victim was instead forced into a vehicle at gunpoint and taken to a house, where he was robbed and assaulted.<\/p>\n
Police identified one of the suspects as Carmen Gamboa, who was arrested earlier this week.<\/p>\n
According to investigators, Gamboa was part of a group that pulled up in a vehicle outside the club that night.<\/p>\n
While the victim said he was planning to grab an Uber, Houston police confirmed the suspects were not Uber drivers or affiliated with any rideshare service.<\/p>\n
The victim told ABC13 that another woman remained inside the vehicle while a man stood near the club’s front door. He said that the man forced him into the vehicle after showing him a gun tucked underneath his shirt.<\/p>\n
Court documents state that after kidnapping the victim, the suspects demanded he hand over any cash and assaulted him.<\/p>\n
According to the documents, the suspects then took him to a house, where they stole his phone, identification, bank cards, jewelry, and clothes.<\/p>\n
The victim was able to escape.<\/p>\n
While Gamboa is now behind bars, Houston police say they are still searching for the remaining suspects.
