A man with three children was fatally shot on his way back from work where he had been setting up Christmas lights at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
According to the Houston Police Department, detectives responded to a vehicle crash along a busy interstate at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Dec. 2.
In a desperate state, authorities discovered the man, known as Robert Schorovsky, in a critical condition at the site of the incident. Reports from the police indicated that he sustained at least one gunshot wound.
His spouse, Brittany Ray, expressed her astonishment, saying, “We’re all in shock. It’s been rough. Just one gunshot—no holes in the truck, no windows shot out. Just the one,” during an interview with KHOU11.
His obituary described him as family-oriented and a hard worker.
“Robbie loved to spend time with the family and make lasting memories. If he was not working, you might see him down at the neighborhood pond fishing to clear his mind,” the obituary said. “There are many memories with the kids hiking, bike riding, and traveling that they will forever hold in their hearts. He was a hard worker and took pride that he could fix just about anything – including his white Chevy truck.”
“His focus was on making and keeping his Brittany happy and would go as far as riding roller coasters with her even though he hated them,” it said. “Robbie loved with all his heart and enjoyed helping those around him when he could.”
Police said that there are no known witnesses or suspects.
