June 17, 2021 - Houston police have released surveillance video of suspects and a vehicle wanted in the fatal shooting of a woman at 10570 Fuqua Street about 4:50 a.m. today.

The victim, Elsa Mikeska, 62, was pronounced dead at the scene.

HPD Homicide Division Sergeant A. Lopez and Detectives N. Sharp reported:

Ms. Mikeska parked her vehicle in the parking lot of a gym at the above address.  The suspects (a driver and two passengers) parked their SUV near her and two of them exited their vehicle.  As Mikeska walked toward the entrance to the gym, the suspects appeared to call out to her.  Mikeska, realizing they were attempting to rob her, then ran towards the gym.  One of the suspects fired one time, striking Mikeska who collapsed near the gym entrance.

The suspects then got back into their SUV and fled the scene southbound on Beamer Road.

About an hour prior to this incident, an aggravated robbery was reported at 10100 Freehill Street.  The robbery victim described suspects matching those in the fatal shooting of Mikeska.  According to the victim, the suspects attempted to steal her vehicle, but were unsuccessful because it was inoperable.

The suspects are described only as possibly Hispanic males in their early 20s.  The vehicle is described as a white Chevrolet SUV.  Video of the suspects and the vehicle can be viewed on the HPD YouTube channel at:  https://youtu.be/9zLPJ7kFNe0

Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
