Trae Tha Truth, a Houston rapper well known for his activism, took action after seeing a video of an elderly woman being robbed outside her residence. Yesterday (April 4), Trae posted to his Instagram account surveillance footage reposted from Houston television news station KHOU 11.
How It All Started
The video shows an elderly Black woman carrying her purse and a few other items as she approaches the doorway of her home. Moreover, before she can reach her front door, she notices a black car coming to a screeching halt.
A young Black man in a mask and hooded jacket jumped out of the vehicle. He then pointed a gun at the woman and tried to rob her. Therefore, as the woman screams, she throws down her possessions and pleads with the man for her life.

Trae Tha Truth Was Also Successful In Locating The Woman
Additionally, due to Trae’s use of his platform to speak out and spread awareness about the troubling incident, he could locate the woman. Also, within a few hours of his original posting, Trae was seen standing in front of the woman’s home, embracing her in the photo captioned,
“I Made It To Her….. I Made Sure She know That Real Ones Dont Stand By Or Approve What Happen To Her… And Also Blessed Her. Protect Our Own. Told Her She Should Create Her Own personal Go fund because a lot of people want to help her. “
After all, Trae made it his duty to protect her identity by covering her face in the photograph.
