Police are searching for the man who killed a north Houston seafood market owner with a machete after he tried to break up a fight between one of his employees and her estranged husband, KPRC Local 2 reported Monday.

Investigators with the Houston Police Department said the owner of the Lucky Seafood Market on Crosstimbers Road at Interstate 45, the North Freeway, tried to stop the argument between one of his female employees and her estranged husband at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday.

"The male then produced a machete, chased the bystander and eventually assaulted him, killing him in the process," HPD Sgt. M.W. McStravik said.

The woman and her child were not injured in the attack.

Jeremy Brewster, a security guard who knew the market owner, rushed to the scene after finding out what happened.

"I would have done the same thing. I would have jumped in and tried to break things up," Brewster told KPRC Local 2.

Witnesses told police that the man fled the restaurant in a green van. No arrests have been made.
