Houston, TX – November 5, 2024 – On October 9th at about 2:30pm, 40-year-old Repossessor, Benjamin Bolton, was chased and gunned down by several men following a repossession. And while the agent fought for his life from the eight rounds pumped into him, Police merely detained the alleged shooters. Well, here we are three weeks later and the District Attorney has finally charged a 19-year-old man with the shooting.
The original incident occurred back on October 9th at about 2:30pm, when 40-year-old Repossessor and father of two, Benjamin Bolton and a coworker spotted a white van assigned for repossession at the 900 block of Broadway in Houston. Already having one repossessed vehicle on the tow truck and having keys to the van, Benjamin hopped behind the wheel.
Having successfully cleared the area, all seemed safe until two miles later at the 7900 block of Harrisburn Blvd. It was there that reportedly two vehicles arrived. One blocked him off from the front and one pulled up alongside him.
It was then that allegedly three men opened fire on him firing a reported thirteen rounds into the van. Eight rounds struck Benjamin. Three struck him in the arm, three in the abdomen, one in the pelvic area, and one became lodged between his heart and his lung.
Bolton was rushed to Ben Taub Hospital where doctors began the first of what will be many surgeries.
According to his interviewed mother; “They had to actually leave his stomach open because they didn’t know what kind of damage, because there was so much blood and trauma. They didn’t want to close him up, and come back and open him up again to make sure they didn’t miss something,”
She added,” Tow truck drivers get a bad rep, but they just do their job. That’s a job to them, to pay the bills and feed their families and there is nothing in this world worth killing somebody over.”
After almost three weeks, on October 30th, the Police have named and charged Brandon Munoz, 19, with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon as the investigation continues.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Brandon Alezander Munoz or in this case is urged to contact the HPD Eastside Patrol Division at 832-395-1580 or speak anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
