The incident occurred near Dobie High School at a Shell gas station students frequently visit. Witnesses told reporters they saw what happened at about 4 p.m. Tuesday.<\/p>\n
According to the Precinct 2 Constable’s Office, Brandon Fowler was in his truck at the gas station parking lot when a teenager rode a bicycle near him. Court records show Fowler became upset, yelled racial slurs at the teen, and then allegedly punched him in the face.<\/p>\n
