On June 19, 2023, at about 12:09 AM, deputies responded to a shooting outside an illegal game room at 5050 FM 1960 W, Suite 112, in Houston. Officers found 58-year-old Carlos Vega Arzuaga from Cuba lying on the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. He worked as an armed security guard at the establishment and confronted two armed individuals who were attempting to rob the game room. The assailants fled in a dark-colored sedan.

On June 23, 2023, 25-year-old Jhekori Simpson was arrested; during interrogation he confessed to shooting Vega Arzuaga during the planned robbery and was charged with capital murder. Investigators later identified a second suspect, 38-year-old Larry Harris, who was indicted by a Harris County grand jury as an accomplice; Harris was already in custody on an aggravated robbery charge linked to the same attempted robbery. A GoFundMe established by Vega Arzuaga’s daughter-in-law sought help with funeral expenses and to support his teenage son in Cuba.

Does anyone have information about the robbery or the dark-colored sedan seen leaving the scene?
