HOUSTON – A man was robbed after washing his clothes at his apartment complex near Memorial Park.

He was almost at his apartment when it happened. He said he tried to get away.
"I just kept walking," said the victim. "That's nowhere around here. As I started rushing more towards the stairs, I started rushing up the stairs. They said, 'If you move, we're going to shoot your head off.' I just turned around and there was a gun just pointed at my head."
The men stole his wallet, his phone and his keys. Houston police said he did the right thing and did not fight back.
