Doctor of HW Bush shot dead on way to work

Maybe I just misread the article. I saw shot the doctor and rode away on his bike as indicating the bike was taken from the scene. Versus just saying rode away. If the bike wasn't stolen then my counter theory is out the window.
That aim on a moving target, while moving himself? Exactly two shots?
He's at minimum practiced.
And he didn't steal the doctor's bike - they were both riding bikes.
The article says that they were both riding bikes. As the shooter passed by the doctor he turned and shot and continued to ride away.
Could be referring to the shooter riding away on his bike. The article describes this as a bicycle to bicycle shooting so he clearly was on his own bike at some point.
Bush Sr is a very elderly man with health complications. He is also a man with a lot of secrets, having run the CIA.
That doctor came to learn one of those secrets.

User warned: Please don't push baseless murder accusations.
Husbands, and wives have put hits on their significant others in the past either for Infidelity, or for financial reasons.
Murder in broad daylight, getaway vehicle a bicycle, leaves multiple witnesses and is potentially recorded in the act.
I think they might catch 'em.
You don't have hire a Golgo 13 type. You can hire any desperate criminal, one that doesn't care for being careful. But the fact that nothing was stolen (apparently) makes this sound very fishy.
Whether or not they catch him alive is what I'm wondering about.
seems like a pretty insensitive thing to insinuate out of the blue with absolutely no proof. I mean, you don't even know if he has a wife.
RIP
Killed by a bicyclist? This whole news sounds like a poor joke. Has the shooter been caught?

I wouldn't call them Acres Homes level dangerous though. Let's not make it out to be the worse of the worst.
We're all speculating whether it was a random killing, or a hit. I'm leaning towards hit, and I'm thinking about the motivation. Unless he has mob ties that I don't know about, I'm going with somebody who knew him personally.
Yeah, definitely sounds like a hit.
But damned if I can figure out what for.
Maybe the hitman got the wrong old guy on a bike?

a 65 year old man was shot in broad daylight by a guy on a bike. Trying to classify "worse of the worst" beyond that seems like pedantry.
Yeah no way that's random. I know we Americans love to shoot things whenever possible. But this dude rode past, turned around and gunned the guy down. Something's up.
That's exactly how a lot of hits go down, that or at the front door in broad daylight. Usually to send a message to others enemies.
I was in a hospital a short walk away when it went down and I know people that worked with him. The speculation was that it was personal, but that was word of mouth. The same word of mouth speculated it was him that got shot, which was before it was reported in the news so the rumors were at least halfway accurate.
Its just a weird way to classify that area considering it's neither close to UH nor Reliant. Why not say it's near Rice?
Random, but my mom just called and told me she saw this shooting. She works in the med center. Weird timing.
I think given the targeted aspect of this murder, it's relevant. When it comes to murders like these, people tend to ask "who did the victim know or was close to or had associations with". Well, a former President is a pretty big association to ignore. Much more when that President is an active client. We're now also talking a doctor who seems pretty prestigious to be able to land a job with a President, and he likely knows even more powerful people.
That was 25 years ago. This seems like a bit of trivia designed to get clicks than a salient piece of background information. But I guess time will tell.
Why? That's incredibly dumb. Like, even dumber than average.
this makes no sense since the Clintons have become friendly with the Bush family after the Tsunami initiative (2005) that brought elder Bush and Bill Clinton closer.
W then got friendly with Bill as part of Ex-Presidents club.
Heck , W is super friendly with Michelle Obama
You say that as if he didn't live a long, successful, and fulfilled life.
A few years ago a law professor in north Florida was assassinated in his driveway at 11AM. Was huge news around the state. Turns out it was a hit ordered by his ex-wife.
So yeah, these things are rare, but they do happen.
