Houston, TX – Four bounty hunters — who work for an insurance company that funds private bail bond companies — reportedly gunned down 31-year-old Walter Hutchins in Houston last week, calling into question the rules imparted on the profession.
According to Click2Houston, a Houston Police Department lieutenant at the scene said a group of men, who identified themselves to police as bounty hunters, were attempting to execute a warrant when the situation took a deadly turn.
“They were here looking for an individual that they did spot,” Houston Police Department Lt. R. Willkens said. “They found him over here inside of a vehicle. They approached the individual; the guy that was sitting in the car. When they approached, this individual shot numerous times from inside his vehicle out toward these investigators.
“One of the investigators fired a rifle only a couple of times, which struck this male and grazed him across the top of the head. Our suspect backed up, crashed into a wall. Officers heard the shots, they were close in the area. They came and gave first aid immediately to our gunshot victim and secured the scene.”
