HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A man who survived being shot during a parking garage robbery is warning others to stay alert as police search for the gunman.<\/p>\n
Houston police released surveillance video showing the suspect approaching Alonzo Sauls inside a parking garage off South MacGregor around 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 28.<\/p>\n
“They need to know these garages are not safe,” Sauls said.<\/p>\n
The video shows the masked suspect walking through the garage with a flashlight, looking into vehicles.<\/p>\n
Sauls was sitting in his truck when the man looked inside. The suspect initially walked away before returning with a gun.<\/p>\n
“He said, ‘Give me your wallet, give me your keys,’ got the gun and pow,” Sauls recalled.<\/p>\n
Sauls said he barely had time to react before he was shot once in the stomach at close range.<\/p>\n
He underwent an eight-hour surgery and spent three weeks in the hospital.<\/p>\n
“I was blessed through God,” Sauls said of surviving.<\/p>\n
Eight months later, Sauls hopes someone will recognize the gunman, who police say was wearing a molded face mask, ripped jeans and black-and-white Nike shoes.<\/p>\n
“If they haven’t caught him, he’ll do it again,” Sauls said.<\/p>\n
He also has a warning for anyone using a parking garage: “Be aware more. Don’t talk on the phone. Be real careful. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or woman.”<\/p>\n
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.<\/p>\n
