Sergeant Mark Holbrook with the Houston Police Department Homicide Division said Mary Jane Gonzales, 49, went to withdraw cash from an ATM, when a Black male wearing all black with a hoodie with some sort of blue writing or insignia on the front, crept up behind Gonzales. 

That’s when authorities said Gonzalez turned around, there was a confrontation and she tried to run away.

The suspect then followed her and shot Gonzales in the parking lot. 

Authorities said they believe the suspect was driving a light-colored Dodge Charger or 4-door vehicle, parked his vehicle on a side street away from the ATM. From there, the suspect walked down the sidewalk behind Gonzales and displayed a gun.

Holbrook said he believes the suspect was scouting out, looking for a victim in the Gulfgate area.
