On Jan. 20, Robertson and Hawkins followed That Huu Le, 75, to the H-E-B parking lot in the 9800 block of Blackhawk Boulevard. Surveillance video showed a gold Infinity sedan following a white Lexus SUV into the parking lot. The video then shows a man getting out of the Infinity and walking toward the victim’s SUV.

Police said a short scuffle took place between the men and Le before shots were fired, hitting Le multiple times.

According to HPD, Hawkins was in custody on an unrelated charge.
