37-Year-old Robert Schorovsky died while driving his box truck. He was driving near the 7200 block on the Gulf Freeway when someone opened fire and killed him. The slaying happened in the evening of early November.
Upon getting shot, the Texas father lost control of his truck and ended up hitting two other vehicles. Although emergency responders took him to the hospital, he died two days later from his injuries. Right now, authorities believe that it may be road rage-related.
"I think we're all in shock. It's been rough. One gunshot. There's no holes in the truck, no windows shot out. Just the one," Schorovsky's wife, Brittany Ray told KHOU11. The Texas father worked for Bright Lights. It's a company that created holiday light displays.
In fact, he had just finished setting up lights on the NASA building when the murder happened. Schorovsky's wife believes that he was rolling up his passenger window when the bullet struck him in the head.
Texas Father Dies
"They tell us it can take up to three months before we find out what type of bullet it is," Ray said. "I don't think it was anything targeted or meant to be for him. It's been tough but I think they've been a lot of help for me. Being here everyday and comforting me when I'm upset. And a little less attitude."
The Texas father had three children. His obituary described him as family oriented.
Apart from his wife, the victim also had three children - aged 14, 11 and nine.
It said, "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. 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."
It continued, "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. Robbie loved with all his heart and enjoyed helping those around him when he could."
