Houston Cops Search for Gunman in Clown Mask Who Gunned Down Father of 5

Houston police are looking for a gunman in a clown mask who shot dead a father of 5 in the parking lot of a southeast Houston hotel early Monday morning.

Veronica Robertson identified the victim as her son, 31-year-old Liquorian Traveon Robertson, LHOU reported.

Police said the shooting took place just before 1:30 a.m. at the Diamond Inn, and they have video of the suspect. He was wearing a red and white clown mask, a dark blue hoodie and pants, and black sneakers with white soles.

They say he may have been bald.

Robertson was sitting in the driver’s seat of his vehicle when the suspect walked up to him and fired more than 10 rounds from behind, KTRK said. Robertson was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Whoever took my son life, I want them to know God is real and justice will be served through God or the justice system. May God deliver them for being unrighteous toward my child and may God bless them all,” said Veronica Robertson, who said her youngest son was killed 5 years ago.

Police don’t know what led to the shooting but ask anyone with information to call the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or speak anonymously with Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
