When officers arrived, they attempted to make contact with the suspect with phone calls. While trying to call the suspect, they heard four or five gunshots being fired from inside the suspect's apartment. The Houston Police Department SWAT team was notified and were dispatched to the scene. Officers then learned that one of the bullets the suspect had fired had gone through the wall of apartment #526 and struck the occupant in the lower leg. While the SWAT team was attempting to talk the suspect out of the apartment, patrol officers filed an arrest warrant on the suspect for aggravated assault for the shooting of the neighbor. While on the phone with the suspect, officers heard a single gunshot and heard the suspect yell out in pain. The officers were able to talk the suspect into opening his front door and crawling outside for help. SWAT officers took the suspect into custody and the SWAT doctors began to give first aid to the suspect for the self-inflicted gunshot wound to his stomach. The suspect was transported by medical personnel to Memorial Herman Hospital, where he underwent surgery for this wound. The suspect remained in police custody while at the hospital. On March 28, 2023, the suspect succumbed to his injuries. Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 6
