  HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Two suspects are at large after a robbery and shooting near downtown Houston, and police believe the same men are responsible for at least one other robbery in the area.

According to investigators, the shooting victim was moving into a rental home on Brooks St. at Gano St.

He was in the process of moving in around 6:30am Sunday when two men jumped out of a truck to rob him.
