Houston saw a sharp spike in violent crime during 2021, enduring a nearly 20% spike in murders as the crime surge across the nation continues.
Rania Mankarious, CEO of Crime Stoppers of Houston, and Adrian Medina, whose mother was allegedly killed by a repeat criminal suspect out on bond last year, joined “Fox & Friends First” to discuss how bail changes have affected Texas’ biggest city.
Martha Medina, Adrian’s mother, is one of those victims and was killed in September by a repeat offender who was released from jail despite being held for capital murder.
Medina recalled the tragic morning he lost his mother.
“Since early that morning… this person had already been targeting people, and it just so happened that my mother drove past him, went to a bank, and she became the target just by going to the bank,” Medina stated.
