Suspect wounded ‘complete stranger’ in Post Oak Hotel shooting, prosecutors say
Updated 11:14 am CDT, Tuesday, May 26, 2020
The man accused of shooting a guest Sunday at the Post Oak Hotel has been identified as Kevin Rafael Wright, a 31-year-old from Georgia, according to Houston police.
He has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he shot Jason Robbins, of Louisiana, around 5:30 a.m. following a verbal spat, police said. Wright opened fire from the hotel entrance, striking Robbins four times as he was leaving, according to court records. Both men were hotel guests.
Wright has since posted his $30,000 bail. Robbins drove himself to the hospital in a private vehicle and remains in stable condition, police said.
Prosecutors described the event in court records as an “unprovoked attack” against a “complete stranger.” Houston police on Sunday said they could not release information about any further link between the two men.
