Police have released a suspect sketch and appealed to the public for information in the shooting death of George H.W. Bush's cardiologist, who was fatally shot while cycling to work.
Dr Mark Hausknecht, 65, was gunned down by another man on a bike as he rode through Texas Medical Center on Friday morning.
Police have not revealed whether they suspect the murder was random or targeted.
Investigators described the suspect as a white or Hispanic male, about 30 years old, five-foot-10 with a slender build and clean shaven. He was last seen wearing a tan baseball cap, sunglasses, a grey warmup jacket and khaki shorts.
On Saturday, Hausknecht's devastated widow, emergency medicine physician Dr Georgia R. Hsieh, broke her silence in a statement to the
Houston Chronicle.
''Senseless' has become a trite adjective to describe these tragedies, but what IS senseless is the misguided notion that any society with more guns is a safer society,' Hsieh wrote.
'When students cannot go to school without fear, and teachers need to arm themselves, what has this country come to?' she continued.
Hsieh said that as an emergency room doctor, she is 'no stranger to the devastating consequences' of gun violence.
'Now my family and I have unwittingly joined the ranks of thousands of other grieving American families who have lost innocent loved ones,' she continued.
'So many have asked what can be done to help,' she wrote. 'While law enforcement has given you their focus on finding the criminal, I am asking you to use your vote and your voice to stem the tide of this growing public health epidemic. Write, email or tweet your congressman urging sensible gun laws. We owe it to future generations to leave a safer environment.'
