A father was brutally beaten and robbed inside a grocery store, causing him to lose his left eye.

HOUSTON – Max Marin was on a routine pizza delivery Friday night when he said he was held up at gunpoint by five men and carjacked. The thieves ordered the pizza to a vacant home and were waiting on Marin in the driveway, deputies said. Marin said he ran to a neighbor’s home and was able to call 911 but the carjackers were long gone. “Both of my jobs were delivering and she worked all the way in the Woodlands so there’s no way to commute to and from,” Marin said. Marin said he quit his delivery job at Papa’s Johns and is now searching for something closer to home.
