Overview
- A Chevrolet Silverado was stolen at gunpoint from a Tidwell Road gas station and, after the owner used GPS to locate the truck, a crash and on-foot confrontation near the North Loop ended with 56-year-old Louis Erebia shot and later pronounced dead on Saturday.
- Harris County deputies arrested London Hogan Sr. and charged him with murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and aggravated robbery; he remains jailed and prosecutors have opposed bond ahead of upcoming hearings.
- Court records show Hogan was placed on five years of deferred adjudication probation in March 2024 for a family-violence assault and had a lengthy criminal history that includes a 2025 arrest in Louisiana and an amended probation condition of 30 days in jail last year.
- Hogan’s court-appointed attorney has said the defense will assert self-defense, investigators are still seeking additional suspects including a reported getaway driver, and Erebia’s family and community leaders held a large news conference demanding accountability.
- Prosecutors will present evidence at pending bond and evidentiary hearings, and the case is expected to sharpen local scrutiny of probation supervision and cross-jurisdictional handling of repeat offenders.
