Officers were questioning a 15- year-old youth who allegedly fired the fatal shot to Khanh Quoc Bui, police spokesman A1 Baker said. He is expected to be certified as an adult and charged with murder. No charges had been filed Wednesday. Bui, 18, of Albuquerque, was shot to death when one of the black youths fired a single shot from a .22- caliber handgun, investigators said. Bui died from a wound to the heart at Ben Taub Hospital, about an hour after the fight began. Three other black teen-agers and three Asian youths involved in the fight at Sharpstown Mall in south west Houston also were questioned and released by police. Witnesses said two blacks started arguing with Bui and his friends in the food court area on the mall’s sec ond floor about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday. One of the blacks made a snide re mark concerning the appearance of one of the Asian youths, setting off the fight, Baker said. Shoppers and mall workers said both sides then exchanged racial slurs and obscene gestures. They then moved outside to the sidewalk, where four Vietnamese and two blacks began throwing punches. Baker said the 15-year-old was standing outside after the fight ended when he reached through the door and shot Bui in the chest with a .22-caliber pistol.

From the high skies of Top Gun and the seamy pool halls of The Color of Money, Cruise’s latest is as a sweet-talking, fast acting bartender in Cocktail. Flashier than flash, Cruise is Brian Flannagan, recently released from the Army and ready to make a million. Instead he starts making drinks behind a bar and taking busi ness courses at a city college after learning there is nowhere to go as an executive without a degree. But the real school is in the bar, and the real teacher is John Coglin (Bryan (F/X) Brown), a cynical old bartender who shows Cruise the ropes. Not an amazing plot, and not an amazing movie. There are some good spas movie is entertaining, evcnifii doesn’t have much to sayorstt there are the bars. As Flannip Coglin work together, trying! money to start their own place acrobatics with liquor bottles, ers and glasses are nothing sho: circus. Impressive and excitini guys’ synchronized pouring stirring of drinks must haveui lot of work, were fun towatck will probably start a trend will tenders across the country Cruise is no longer the naive, do- gooder as in some of his previous movies. Actually, he’s a jerk in this one. He seduces a girl Jordan (Eliza beth Shue of “Adventures in Baby sitting”) while working in Jamaica, but dumps her on a bet that he can seduce a rich older woman in a bar. However, apparently the produc ers thought America couldn’t take their hero without some redeeming factor, so they included a scene where Flannagin cries while reading a farewell letter from his mentor Coglin, a scene that shows an emo tion as fake as the glycerin tears in Cruise’s eyes. Also, Brown was excellenias Coglin. A cynic who only wans easy road, Coglin alienates FI gan in his quest for the best,an: final scene between thetwois ping. Also, the almost-rude It between the duo through® movie is good, and you newt if the scene is going to enii punch or a smile. If that isn’t enough sap for you, there’s a sappy reconciliation ending with Jordan that belongs on the late- late-late show. The movie had some especially the scenes in the bat! the scenery of Jamaica wasspe ular. Too bad the restoftheit didn’t follow suit. Cool off with a refreshing 3 day sale at Shellenberger’s.
