Woman Run Over in Wal-Mart Parking Lot

More than a hundred friends and family packed the Wal-Mart parking lot on South Post Oak in Southwest Houston Sunday. They weren’t there to shop. They were there to pray.

Porsha Thompson, 20, was run over in the parking lot the day before Thanksgiving around 6:30 p.m. Her brother says she was struck after a dispute over a parking spot.

“We was entitled to that spot, we were waiting with our signal lights on,” said Jamar Thompson.

He was in the car with his sister when he says a black Dodge Durango with four people inside pulled around and hit their car. A woman was behind the wheel.

“They got out with blades and were waving their knives saying foul words,” he said.

Moments later Porsha Thompson got out to check the damage. That’s when the Durango ran her over and took off.

“She was a sweet girl, right now it’s in the hands of the Lord,” said Emil Davis, the victim’s step-father.

Thompson is lying in a Memorial Hermann Hospital bed and is not expected to survive. She is brain dead and breathing on a ventilator.

Just two weeks ago a woman was hit and killed after a minor fender-bender accident at another Meyerland shopping center less than a mile from this latest incident. That suspect also fled the scene but was later caught and charged with murder.

Now Thompson’s family hopes for the same.

“We want to bring her to justice,” said Davis. The Houston Police Department urges anyone with information to call the Hit and Run detail at 713-247-4065.
