According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the suspect had stolen the homeowner's BBQ pit from his home.

Authorities said the homeowner left his home and gave chase to the suspect in his own vehicle.

SUGGESTED: Houston shooting: 1 person dead on Wilcrest Drive, police say

Gonzalez said the homeowner later caught up with the suspect and confronted him about the incident a short distance away.

When the homeowner got out of his vehicle and confronted the suspect's vehicle, he believed the driver of the vehicle had possibly retrieved a weapon.

Fearing for his safety, authorities said the homeowner fired several times at the suspect, striking him, authorities stated.

A second person, who was in the car with the suspect, wasn't injured and isn't being charged, authorities said.

Gonzalez stated the homeowner cooperated with investigators and provided a detailed statement about the incident.

Following the investigation, the case will also be turned over to the Harris County District Attorney's Office for presentation to a grand jury.

Passenger in the car should be charged as an accessory to the theft and possibly charged in connection with the perp's death.

Competition trailer mounted smokers can easily sell for $20K +. Not sure what he had and if it's worth killing someone over though?

If you enter a person’s property with the intent to steal or rob, you forfeit your rights. Good shoot.

Anything someone thinks is worth stealing is worth killing over. That's how you stop would be thieves from trying.

The thief is the one who put so little value on his life.
