Minutes later, another fatal crash occurred on Old Humble Road near Greens Road. According to investigators, a motorcyclist ran a red light and collided with a white GMC Denali. The rider was thrown from the bike and later pronounced dead at the hospital. The driver and passengers of the GMC were not injured.
Teens Arrested After Armed Robbery and Chase
In northwest Harris County, deputies arrested two 14-year-old boys accused of robbing a man at gunpoint around 12:15 a.m. in the 14500 block of Tomball Parkway. A third suspect, believed to be under 10 years old, was also involved but will not face charges due to his age.

All four cases remain under investigation by Houston Police and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities are urging anyone with information about these incidents to contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at (713) 222-TIPS.
