March 03, 2016 - Houston police have released surveillance video and photos of a suspect wanted in at least two convenience store robberies in west Houston in February.
The suspect is described only as a black male in his 30s, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, 230 to 240 pounds, with long braids. He wore jeans and a gray hoodie and was armed with a pistol.

The incidents occurred at the following locations:
- Timewise Convenience Store at 12355 Katy Freeway about 3:50 p.m. on February 14
- Exxon Gas Station at 1520 Barker Cypress about 5 p.m. on February 21
