A man who robbed a Hillcroft-area business Saturday was shot dead by a bystander when he tried to flee the store, police said.

The slain robber was identified as Danea Maurice Fogle, 21, of the 13400 block of Woodforest, according to the Harris County medical examiner's office.

The robbery occurred at 5:55 p.m. Saturday when a gunman wearing a ski mask entered Hillcroft Car Stereo and Alarm in the 3200 block of Hillcroft, pulled a semiautomatic pistol and jumped behind the counter.

He emptied the cash drawer and then demanded a miniature TV in a glass case. The store owner handed it over.

The store owner's two brothers, in a back room working on stereo equipment, watched the robbery on a closed-circuit TV.

One of them grabbed a shotgun and shot the robber, who died at the scene. A handgun in his possession was reportedly stolen, Houston police said.

Police believe the slain man robbed businesses in the Richmond and Chimney Rock areas.
