Houston Man Killed During Carjacking After Tracking Stolen Truck with GPS
Louis Erebia, 56, was shot and killed in Houston on Saturday after confronting a suspect who had stolen his son's pickup truck, which Erebia tracked using GPS. The suspect, London Hogan Sr., a repeat offender on probation, has been charged with murder, aggravated assault, and aggravated robbery. The incident highlights concerns about criminal justice outcomes when individuals with lengthy records remain in the community.
A Houston man was fatally shot during a carjacking incident after he and a friend tracked down his stolen Chevy Silverado using GPS technology. The vehicle was stolen from a gas station when Erebia's son was refueling. London Hogan Sr., identified as the suspect, allegedly pulled a gun during the theft. When Erebia located and confronted the suspect, a collision occurred that disabled the stolen vehicle, prompting Erebia to chase the suspects on foot. Hogan then fired multiple shots, killing Erebia and injuring another man. Hogan, who has an extensive criminal history including drug possession, burglary, and assault charges, was on deferred adjudication probation at the time of the incident. He has been charged with murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
