Houston security guard killed in illegal game room robbery, police say
A security guard was shot and killed Monday night during a robbery at an illegal game room disguised as an insurance office in southwest Houston, police say.
Investigators believe the location was operating as an illegal gambling den disguised as a different business. While the storefront featured signage for other services, including an insurance office, a police spokesperson described the setup as a front to mask the illegal activity inside.
