Abdul-Rahman Khan, 27, was convicted for the murder of 33-year-old Peter Pina, a tattoo artist at the Electric Chair Tattoo and Piercing shop on Richmond on June 14, 2016.

While being kicked off, Khan pulled a pistol out of his pocket and shot Pina in the chest. Another tattoo artist and a customer were able to get the gun away from Khan. They held him there until Houston police officers arrived.Assistant District Attorney Stacy Scofield, a chief prosecutor who handled the case with ADA Keegan Childers, said Pina’s three sons now have to grow up without a father.

Scofield said Khan has several charges pending in Dallas, including an allegation that he pulled a gun on a police officer. After he was charged with Pina’s murder and arrested, Khan was freed on bail and went to Dallas. While there, he was thrown out of a bar in Deep Ellum and pulled a gun out on a homeless man and local business owner, according to the DA's Office.
