Harris County homicide investigators need the public's help to track down a suspect who fatally shot an Iraq war veteran during a robbery Aug. 6.
The suspect has been identified as Keith Dewayne Dillingham, 28, who has been charged with capital murder, investigators said. A judge has denied bail.
The victim, Alexander Segura, 28, was shot while he chased two thieves who had robbed him and a woman as they sat in a vehicle at an apartment complex at 9001 Jones Road in northwest Harris County.
Segura was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he later died, investigators said.
Detectives learned that two men were wearing dark clothing and hoodies when they robbed Segura and his friend, and Dillingham's name surfaced as one of the suspects.
Anyone with information about the suspect's whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477), or submit a tip online at www.crime-stoppers.org.
Tips can also be sent by text message. Text TIP610 plus your tip to CRIMES (274637).
Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest and charges in the case. All tipsters remain anonymous.
Dillingham has a criminal history dating to 2005 that includes convictions for delivery of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, unauthorized use of a vehicle, deadly conduct, burglary of a vehicle, trespassing and assault on a family member, court records show.
Segura leaves behind his wife and 2-year old son.
