Alex Owiesy, the 17-year-old charged in connection with a shooting at Houston's Heights High School last week, is also facing charges for other violent crimes against students in March.
According to court documents, a group of students was in a vehicle driving back to the high school from lunch, when a black Volkswagen Passat, which Owiesy is known to drive, stopped in front of them in the parking lot. A suspect got out of the car and tapped the victim's window with a gun, telling them to get out.
The student quickly put the car in drive to speed off, but not before the gunman shot multiple times. Records state that a bullet went through the student's hand and stopped in his right wrist.A witness also reported that Owiesy and the victim had gotten into an argument on Wednesday, regarding a milk shake that was thrown at the victim's car.
The two students reported they were walking back to campus from a convenience store when they noticed a black Volkswagen sedan with four occupants pass them multiple times on Arlington St. The students reported them as fellow classmates at Heights High School and identified the driver as Owiesy. Three passengers got out of the car and allegedly confronted the two students. They then beat up one of the students, slamming him to the ground and then kicking him.
The driver, who had a gun, then told the other suspects, "Let's go," prompting them to get back in the car after taking the victims' backpacks, court records show. One of the students called his stepfather, who arrived to pick them up and search for the Volkswagen. They found it and pursued it while on the phone with a police dispatcher, according to court documents. One of the students recorded the incident and shared it with police. According to court documents, the stepfather told the students "to get down, and the camera then pans down to the floorboard, before several gunshots are heard on the video recording.
