Other photos show the suspect behind the doctor. The shooting happened moments later, one block away.
Hausknecht was a private doctor who worked at Methodist Hospital and Memorial Hermann Hospital.
On Sunday, friends of Hausknecht remembered the prominent doctor.
"He just played a very great role in the community," a woman said.
Hausknecht's wife, Dr. Georgia R. Hsieh, called his death "senseless."
"So many have asked what can be done to help. 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," she said in the statement.
