A man on probation with a history of offenses has been charged with murder following the death of his father during a carjacking in Houston, Texas, on Saturday afternoon.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported that Luis Erevia, the owner of the stolen vehicle, chased after the suspect, London Hogan Sr., who allegedly shot Erevia during their confrontation. Erevia was transported to a local hospital but did not survive.
Hogan Sr. is also linked to the shooting of another individual, who is expected to recover.
According to the sheriff’s office, Erevia’s son was fueling his Chevrolet Silverado when Hogan approached with a weapon and entered the vehicle. Using GPS, Erevia and a friend tracked the stolen truck to its location.
As the chase unfolded, Erevia’s vehicle collided with a stolen Chevrolet Silverado, disabling it, the deputies reported.
After the collision, Erevia pursued Hogan and an accomplice as they exited the stolen truck. It was then that Hogan fired several shots.
Hogan has since been charged with murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and aggravated robbery.
His criminal past includes a range of offenses:
- November 12, 2023: Assault on a family member, resulting in a five-year community supervision sentence.
- September 3, 2020: Felon in Possession of a Weapon – Dismissed.
- September 3, 2020: Vehicle Misuse – Dismissed.
- September 3, 2020: Possession of a Controlled Substance – Dismissed.
- August 24, 2016: Possession of a Controlled Substance – Guilty.
- October 15, 2015: Possession of a Controlled Substance – Guilty.
- December 16, 2009: Robbery – Guilty.
During a hearing, the judge stated that Hogan’s sentencing had been deferred and noted his prior felony status.
“You are currently under a five-year suspension for an assault case that ends on March 27, 2024. And, by the way, murder falls under SB9 legislation,” the judge explained.
Amber Barrow, a relative of Erevia, shared her grief on social media, stating his life was taken too soon.
“Louis died doing what he did every day: protecting others. He was a hero until the end,” Barrow reflected. She described him as a community pillar and someone whose kindness impacted many lives—always ready to lend a hand.
