Robber Fatally Shoots Ice Cream Man

Police hope they will be able to find new clues Friday in their search for the killer who gunned down a man as he sold ice cream in southwest Houston.

Investigators believe ice cream vendor Mercer Reyes, 54, was robbed and shot at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday on Mullins and Bissonnet.

Police said they do not have any suspects, but a witness said he saw a red car leaving the scene about the time the crime occurred.

On May 26, another ice cream vendor was fatally shot in southwest Houston on Gessner near Bellaire as he pushed an ice cream cart.

Authorities have not determined if the crimes are connected.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS.


This has got to give you some bad karma.  I don't necessarily believe in reincarnation, but if I did I suspect shooting the ice cream man would cause you to return as a worm on a hot parking lot.

Apparently, the shooter was not in good humor.

Maybe he was shot for doing pushups with the guys wife?  :p  She could have stopped him when he was passing by.


humor aside.  That is scary considering some scumbag is targeting guys that often have children hanging around them.

The vendors need to stock more bullet pops.

There's always a lot of these poor souls around the part of Dallas I live in.  I kind of feel for them trying to scratch out a living as a basement-level entrepreneur.  Unfortunately, they're an easy target.
