Bush airport
cargo worker
shot to death
IIOUSTON (AP) —A airport cargo worker was
shot to death Tuesday morning in an apparent robbery
at a Bush Intercontinental Airport freight building.
The attacker ambushed Robert Kenneth Green
shortly after 7 a.m. as Green, 56, entered the KLM
airlines cargo area, Houston police said.
A witness with the victim told police he ran to a
phone to get help and heard a shot. When the wit
ness returned. Green was dead with a gunshot to the
head, police said.
Police believe the attacker’s motive was robbery.
“His pockets were turned out and he was known
to carry a large amount of cash with him,” said
Houston police spokesperson Fred King.
Green’s money clip was found outside the build
ing, as was a sweater, gloves and a bandanna be
lieved to have been worn by the attacker.
The witness told investigators the attacker was
roughly 5-foot-8 and wore blue pants and a blue
shirt. During the assault, the attacker wore the ban
danna over his face, police said.
Green, a longtime employee of Cargo Airport
Services, is the second homicide victim killed on air
port grounds. King said.
In 1972, four men killed an Eastern Airlines tick
et agent before hijacking a 727 with 35 passengers
and seven crew members to Cuba. The hijackers
were later returned to the United States to face
charges.
