HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A 34-year-old man was shot and killed Sunday after reporting that he had been robbed at gunpoint and following the suspects’ vehicle while on the phone with a 911 dispatcher, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.<\/p>\n

The victim, identified by the sheriff’s office as Victor Gonzalez, called 911 at about 4:12 p.m. Sunday to report that he had been robbed at gunpoint in Harris County.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Gonzalez remained on the phone with dispatchers, providing directions as he followed the suspects’ vehicle.<\/p>\n

According to investigators, Gonzalez had arranged to meet a suspect to sell property. During the transaction, detectives believe he was robbed at gunpoint. The suspects then fled in a vehicle, and Gonzalez followed them while relaying their direction of travel to dispatchers.<\/p>\n

During the call, Gonzalez reported that the suspects’ vehicle had “crashed” before telling dispatchers he had been shot, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Neighbors told ABC13 they saw a man being pulled from a vehicle by bystanders, who attempted CPR before emergency crews arrived. Gonzalez could not be saved.<\/p>\n

Harris County Sheriff’s Office homicide detectives and crime scene investigators responded to the scene and conducted a preliminary investigation.<\/p>\n

A male in his late teens was detained Sunday for questioning. However, investigators said Monday that no one had been arrested and no charges had been filed.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez’s family was reached by ABC13 but declined to comment.<\/p>\n
