The Killing of a Robber with a Fake Gun Has Houstonians Split; Was Additional Shots Fired Justified Under Texas Law?



Community Activist Quanell X, and another one wearing a cowboy hat, have stepped forward to call for some sort of charges to be brought against the man who killed a robber by the name of Eric Eugene Washington in a local taqueria. Now, just for the record, Quanell X, and the other activist believe that the shooter went too far after Eric Eugene Washington was no longer a threat. Sec. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON. (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another: (1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and (2) when and to the degree, the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or (B) to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.

DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON. (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another: (1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and (2) when and to the degree, the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or (B) to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.


SCENE ONE - The man robbing the El Ranchito Taqueria, Eric Eugene Washington, is pointing his fake pistol directly at a customer sitting way in the back. Now, remember Sec. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON. (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another: (1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and (2) when and to the degree, the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or (B) to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.




SCENE TWO - Do you see these patrons hiding under this table in fear for their lives? The robber, Eric Eugene Washington runs around the taqueria waving what we now know to be a  fake pistol around. Now, remember Sec. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON. (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another: (1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and (2) when and to the degree, the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or (B) to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.


Corine Goodman, the mother of Eric Eugene Washington, told FOX 26, that her son is not the monster that people are trying to make him out to be. “For him to be shot four times in the back leaving, and when he falls down and he shoots him four more times, you abused him,” she says. “And that hurts.,”



AUBREY R. TAYLOR: "A member of my investigative team and I have studied the video of Eric Eugene Washington being killed, at the El Ranchito Taqueria, and have broken the video down into frames for the general public to be able to see what community activist Quanell X, is talking about as it relates to how the shooter abused the corpse of the robber."

The Killing of a Robber with a Fake Gun Has Houstonians Split; Was Additional Shots Fired Justified Under State Law?

AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©

Almost everyone I’ve spoken to about the killing of Eric Eugene Washington, the Black robber who terrorized customers at the El Ranchito Taqueria believes that the initial shots by the shooter were justified. Where Minister Quanell X and another Black Activist believe a crime occurred when the shooter continued to pump shots into Washington, even after he no longer posed a threat and was lying on the ground dead.

According to the mother of the robber, Corine Goodman, her son, Eric Eugene Washington was trying to get his life back together. However, nobody can seem to understand what drove, Washington, to enter the Taqueria under such desperate straits.

Williams had recently gotten a job and welcomed a newborn son into the world, according to his mother. She also said that she knew that her son was struggling financially, but didn’t know how desperate he was, according to a report, aired on FOX 26, where Natalie Hee, provided the community with an update, about the incident.

Hours before the incident, Washington in a phone conversation told his mother that he was trying to be the best person that he could be, according to her statements in the FOX 26, news report. “What he did I don’t condone,” says Corine Goodman, the mother of the robber.

Back in 2015, records show that Eric Eugene Washington was sentenced to robbery with a deadly weapon, and sentenced to 15 years in prison in connection to the shooting death of a business owner. “He was there, he did not kill their father,” said Washington’s mother, reflecting back on the murder where a 62-year-old businessman was murdered. “He did not kill their father, but he was there and their father got killed, and for that, I’m sorry,” she went on to say.

Washington served seven years of his 15-year prison sentence and was released on parole. Last December, he was charged with assaulting his common-law wife, and was released on bond. “He’s not the monster people are pitching him to be,” says the mother of the shooter.

“For him to be shot four times in the back leaving, and when he falls down and he shoots him four more times, you abused him,” she says. “And that hurts.,” she went on to say.

WHERE THINGS STAND

The shooter wishes to remain anonymous at this time, however, community activist Quanell X, and another local activist believe that the shooter to be brought to justice for a crime of some nature.

“What the shooter did was excessive, and he should be charged,” said Quanell X. However, according to a legal analyst by the name of Casey Garrett, “Once someone has the legal right to act in self-defense, or to use legal force in self-defense, then they have the right, whether it’s shooting him once, or shooting him nine times,” she says.

This case will now go on to a grand jury. “I’m hoping the grand jury does something because if they don’t it’s going to get worse,” said Quanell X. “Because the message that will be sent – will be the ‘wild-wild west,” he says.

“We cannot have a society where our citizens are judge, jury, and executioner,” Quanell X explained. “This is a civilized society,” he says. “This looks like Tombstone, this the O.K. Corral,” said Quanell X, referring to a thirty-second gunfight that took place in Tombstone, Arizona between Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Virgil, and Morgan Earp fight the McLaurys and Clantons.

“We’re not knocking the man for defending himself, we’re knocking the man for what he did extra beyond that,” he says.

What seems to have Quanell X and other the most upset, is how the shooter treated Eric Eugene Washington after he was already dead on the ground. “At least it’s called abuse of a corpse, and that’s a misdemeanor crime in Texas,” Quanell X went on to say.

What Quanell X points out in the video, according to the FOX 26 news reporter was the moment when, Eric Eugene Washington was lying on the floor dead, and the shooter, is leaving the restaurant.

In the still shots, you will see below, the shooter is finishing off whatever he’s drinking, he takes one last sip, and then dumps his drink on the dead body of Eric Eugene Washington after he had already shot him in the head.

As the shooter walks by the dead body, he dumps his drink on the body and throws the mug he’s drinking from, at the dead body of Eric Eugene Washington, as he walks by, and out the front door to the taqueria along with other patrons.

Quanell X believes that the shooter abused the dead body of Eric Eugene Washington, and should be charged. But is Quanell X, correct, in his assessment, and should the shooter be charged?
