The robber stole money and damaged multiple video poker machines. Surveillance footage shows the robber opening the door with a crowbar and breaking into many gambling machines. He then made off with several hundred dollars at the cash register.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I got here, I looked at the video and I saw the man break into the games and the register,\u201d Pedro Lopez, El Ranchito&#8217;s proprietor, shared his story. <a href=\"https:\/\/abc13.com\/houston-taqueria-robbery-shooting-break-in-at-el-ranchito-customer-shoots-robber\/12685408\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Local news<\/a> reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Surveillance video shows the man using a prybar to open the door. The man then opens three video poker terminals, allegedly to steal money. He then walks up the cash register, opens it and steals the money. Lopez said that the thief took a few hundred dollars from Lopez&#8217;s account.<\/p>\n<p>His gambling machines were destroyed and he is now homeless <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vHritBC8Ajw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Latest news<\/a> ABC 13 local showed that the front door lock was also mangled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s against me. I just don\u2019t know,\u201d Lopez lament. \u201cI think we need to come out ahead of it and move forward. Keep working until someone else comes to rob us.\u201d ABC 13 reported that the shop was still open the next day following the robbery.<\/p>\n<p>Just five days after the attempted robber had been arrested, the second burglary took place. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/armed-customer-shoots-robber-dead-and-returns-stolen-money-in-houston-taqueria-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shot and killed<\/a> The man was approached by a customer while trying to keep the store open. Houston police say that a man dressed in all black and wearing a black ski mask and gloves entered the restaurant. The man demanded their money while pointing a gun at customers.<\/p>\n<p>The suspect was walking around the restaurant, taking money from customers. One customer, who was sitting at a booth, quickly got up and grabbed a gun.<\/p>\n<p>Police say the suspect was shot by the patron with an armed weapon before taking the stolen money. He then gave it back to the other officers. The shooter was identified by the police as the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>Houston Police Department shared surveillance pictures of an armed customer. The customer was described as either white or Hispanic, and his 1970s or 80s pickup truck without a bed. According to a Friday press conference, no charges have been filed.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the Harris County District Attorney\u2019s Office said in a statement that it was referring the case to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/grand-jury-to-decide-on-charges-for-customer-who-fatally-shot-robber-at-houston-taqueria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grand jury<\/a>This would decide whether to file charges against the patron.<\/p>\n<p>Lopez supported the patron Tuesday. \u201cI\u2019m happy that they didn\u2019t put charges against him right now,\u201d He said. \u201cHe continues forward and God takes care of him and protects him. Thanks to him, they didn\u2019t take the money.
