Houston, Texas – A tragic incident unfolded in the early hours of the morning at a Houston Farmers Market, where a 36-year-old employee, Damon Price, lost his life while trying to prevent the theft of a golf cart. Reports have revealed that the suspect behind the fatal shooting, a 14-year-old, was turned into authorities by his own mother.
