Houston-Area Man Fatally Shot Trying to Save Teen Neighbor

The armed attackers fled in their car.

Harris County authorities said they are seeking at least three suspects for the shooting death of a good Samaritan who tried to save a 16-year-old neighbor from being robbed at gunpoint.

Sergio Bruno said the 29-year-old shooting victim, Moyses Arreguin, was like a brother to him. He said he was chatting Friday night with Arreguin, who lived a few homes away, and then was sitting on the back of his truck alone when men who had been driving on the street jumped out of their car, pulled a gun on him and demanded cash.

Arreguin apparently spotted the confrontation, ran over and used a baseball bat on one of the robbers before he was shot several times.

The armed attackers fled in their car.
