Summary of Incident
Summary of How the Death Occurred: (max. 30,000 characters)
Summary:
On 08/29/2018, Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies and Texas DPS Special Agents located and followed a
vehicle taken in a car-jacking/aggravated robbery. After hours of surveillance, officers made the decision to
stop the vehicle and initiated a containment procedure after the suspect vehicle exited the freeway. Three
Special Agents blocked the suspect vehicle in the front, back, and driver's side. Officers exited their unmarked
vehicles wearing tactical vests displaying identifying law enforcement agency patches. Officers announced,
"Police, don't move." The Special Agent parked behind the suspect vehicle was standing next to his opened
driver's side door. The suspect vehicle reversed and pushed the Special Agent vehicle back as the agent had
re-entered his vehicle. The driver turned the wheels to the right and struck the back of the agent's vehicle in
front of him as he attempted to flee. Officers discharged their weapons towards the suspect vehicle. The
suspect vehicle continued to travel a short distance and stopped as it drove up on the curb. A female
passenger exited the suspect vehicle and walked towards the officers. Officers approached the suspect
vehicle, removed the driver, and determined he had been struck by gunfire. Officers initiated life-saving
measures and requested EMS. EMS personnel arrived on scene and found no signs of life on the driver.
