The Fugitive Unit officers observed the suspect, Joey Cesar Fraire, L/M/ 18, who was wanted for Capital Murder out of the Farmers Branch Police Department. The officers were aware of Mr. Fraire’s wanted status from a wanted persons bulletin. Officers followed the suspect, who was the passenger in the vehicle, to 2546 Bahama Drive, the Bahama Glenn Apartments. The driver of the vehicle was not involved in the Farmer’s Branch offense. Fugitive Unit officers initiated their tactical apprehension protocols to convince the occupants of the suspect vehicle to surrender. A distraction device was deployed at which time the driver of the vehicle complied with officers’ verbal commands and was arrested without incident. The suspect refused to exit the vehicle at which time Fugitive Unit officers deployed an additional distraction device, followed by pepper ball rounds, both of which failed to convince the suspect to comply. The suspect was observed on drone video holding a handgun. This information was relayed via radio to the members of the arrest team. The drone was a live feed and was not recording at the time of the incident. The suspect opened the door and discharged the handgun at officers. The officers returned fire striking the suspect multiple times. First aid was administered by Fugitive Unit officers and the suspect was transported to a local hospital. No other officers sustained any injuries during this incident.
