Man charged with murder is gunned down in store while out on bond, Texas cops say

[Star Telegram] A Texas man charged with murder in a December 2020 road rage incident was recently gunned down in a convenience store while out on bond, according to police.

Davion Potts, 22, entered Primos Food Store in northwest Houston on Sunday, Dec. 12 — and an unknown man walked in behind him, pulled out a gun and shot him several times, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a Facebook post.

"The motive is unknown," Gonzalez said in the post.
"But, he definitely needed killing"
Potts was arrested Dec. 8, 2020, about a year before his death, in connection with a fatal road rage shooting. He bonded out in late March of this year, Harris County court records show.

Potts killed the driver of a pickup truck, Travis Rowden, over a minor car accident, authorities told news outlets.

#11 And you double tap?

Whether mouse or trigger, anything worth clicking is worth clicking twice. Best to be sure!

I like the implication in the story that vengeance was served. Very satisfying in a mythic way, but if I were betting, my chips are on someone otherwise upset with Davion's business dealings.
