HOUSTON – Two men have been arrested in the killing of a man inside a convenience store in southeast Houston.

Eric Anderson and Derek Redmond are charged with capital murder.

Police said the men on Dec. 15 tried to rob the Food-To-Go in the 2900 block of Almeda Genoa.

Joe Hillsman was inside buying a lottery ticket. He was able to grab a gun from one of the men and charged toward them, but police said Anderson shot him.

Both robbers ran from the store to a waiting car with a driver inside, according to police.

Hillsman later died in the hospital.
