Description
Helen Ortega, night manager of the Seven-Eleven store on Bauman Street in Houston, was coming out of the back room of the store on October 3, 1974, when she was "caught by surprise" by "two white males." Ortega identified appellant as the one who "pulls out his gun and points at me" and "tells me to open the cash register." Ortega, who was pregnant at the time, testified that she was in fear of death or serious bodily injury. After she opened the cash register, appellant "leans over and grabs the money." Officer Wendt was on patrol in front of the store with his partner when he observed two men "standing excessively close and hunkered over the counter" and the proprietor of the store was standing with her hands in a "very unusual" position. The patrol car was turned around and Wendt saw appellant and the other man, identified as appellants brother Bruce, "run out of the store" and go in separate directions. As appellant was running, he threw a gun into the grass which was retrieved and found to contain no firing pin or clip. Appellant reached a car on Soren Street and the car had started moving before the officer stopped it and appellant was arrested. Appellant was returned to the store, where he was identified by Ortega. A rifle was found in the car with "six live rounds in the magazine of it."
