Summary of Incident
Summary of How the Death Occurred: (max. 30,000 characters)
Summary:
On July 14, 2022, Officers with the Houston Police Department were dispatched to 5501 Bretshire to assist
the Houston Fire Department with a combative patient. Officers were asked to respond to the scene to assist
with gaining control of the subject. Officers arrived and handcuffed the male to the gurney. The male was
transported to LBJ Hospital by HFD medics for treatment. Upon arrival at the hospital, he was given a
sedative to calm him down so that doctors could provide treatment. Shortly after receiving the sedative, the
male lost consciousness and vitals. Officers unhandcuffed the male so that doctors could provide treatment;
however, he was not able to be revived and was pronounced deceased by the treating physicians. The
autopsy results are pending with the cause of death to be determined.
