Conner, employee #98074, of the Patrol Region 3 Command, South Gessner Division, was involved in an Officer-involved Shooting (OIS) incident. His partner, Officer D. Hay, employee #162091, deployed his Conducted Electricity Device (CED) during the same Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- incident, as did an on-duty Bellaire Police Officer. Officers Conner and Hay were on-duty in their marked patrol car when they heard dispatch do a general broadcast of a robbery in-progress at the McDonald's at 5521 Bellaire Blvd. While they happened to be nearby. The officers arrived and witnesses pointed out the suspect who was walking in the street on Bellaire away from the McDonald's. Officers Conner and Hay began to relay the suspect information and direction of travel to dispatch. Officer O. Barrientos with Bellaire Police Department was monitoring our radio channel and checked by arriving to intersection of Bellaire and Chimney Rock at the same time the suspect was walking into the intersection. Officer Barrientos confronted the suspect, who was armed with a screwdriver and a pair of scissors, one in each hand, and refused to comply with commands to stop and drop the weapons. Officer Barrientos deployed his CED which had no effect on the suspect. By this time, Officer Hay had closed the distance and was also giving commands to the suspect to drop his weapons with no compliance on the part of the suspect. Officer Hay deployed his CED which again had no effect on the suspect. Officer Conner ordered the suspect to drop his weapons and stop or he would be forced to shoot him. The suspect quickly turned toward and approached Officer Conner from approximately 10 feet away and Officer Conner, fearing he would be stabbed, fire two rounds at the suspect, hitting him twice in the midsection. This OIS occurred inside the city limits of Bellaire. However, Houston Police Department Special Investigations Unit took the lead on investigation. Officers called for medical attention, and the suspect was transported to Ben Taub Hospital by Houston Fire Department Ambulance which he was later pronounced dead. The suspect had previously robbed the McDonald's from the original dispatch location and also a CVS Pharmacy in the City of Southside Place immediately prior to that using the aforementioned screwdriver and scissors. The suspect was in possession of a Texas Driver's License for David Campos who appears to be the same person as the suspect. However, SIU is still awaiting confirmation from the Medical Examiner's Office on the identification of the suspect. David Campos appears to be an alias of Jose Macedo (33 year-old Hispanic Male) and he had two open felony warrants at the time of this incident for Robbery and Evading and a criminal history that includes Robbery. Burglary of a Vehicle, Theft, Evading Arrest, and Possession of a Controlled Substance among others. Macedo had not been handled for mental health issues per the Mental Heath Division.
