On March 12, 2016, authorities said Pugh tried to rob the convenience store in the 8500 block of FM 1960 and confronted the cashier, who went to get the manager. The manager, identified as 51-year-old Zia Siddiqui, allegedly also pulled out a gun, and the two men exchanged gunfire.Siddiqui died at the scene, and Pugh took off from the store.
The DA's office said not long after the shooting, Pugh arrived at an emergency room in Humble for help.
