Man Charged With Murder After Houston Father Killed Recovering Stolen Truck

Erebia’s family and Crime Stoppers say failures in probation enforcement allowed the suspect to remain free, prompting calls for accountability as investigators search for other suspects.

Overview

  • The shooting occurred on Saturday, June 6, when 56-year-old Louis Erebia tracked his son’s stolen Chevrolet Silverado to the North Loop near Airline Drive and confronted the suspects, and he later died at a hospital.
  • Harris County deputies arrested 37-year-old London Hogan and charged him with murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
  • Hogan appeared in probable-cause court, was assigned to the 339th District Court, had bond denied, and jail records show he has not yet been appointed an attorney.
  • Court records and reporting show Hogan has a long criminal history including a 2025 guilty plea for assault family violence that resulted in five years of probation and alleged interstate probation violations, which family members and advocates highlighted at a Monday news conference.
  • Investigators are actively searching for additional people believed to have fled the scene, including a reported getaway driver and other occupants of a black pickup, and evidence-gathering by homicide detectives and CSI teams is ongoing.
