Authorities in Houston stated that the veteran was alone in the parking lot of the Lone Star Living assisted living complex in the southwest around midday on Saturday when an unidentified suspect approached the senior and immediately started attacking him.
He then shot Beckett before hijacking his vehicle and fleeing the scene, running over the 90-year-old in the process.
Someone in the local area allegedly heard the gunshot during the altercation and recalled the harrowing incident to KHOU 11.
“He had his little shopping cart and a scuffle ensued,” neighbor Rod Boson told the outlet. “They say he put up a good fight. That’s when he got shot. As the suspect backed up, he hit [the victim].”
Police later found the stolen car abandoned at an apartment complex on Dunlap Street.
