Gilliam refused to stop for the officer and a vehicle pursuit ensued, terminating at Gilliam’s residence. Body worn camera video showed two Bonham Police Officers giving repeated verbal commands to Gilliam to raise his hands. The video showed Gilliam to take an aggressive stance toward the officers, refused their verbal commands and to quickly lower his right hand toward a coat pocket, which caused one of the officers to discharge their handgun, striking Gilliam twice in the upper torso. Gilliam was transported to a hospital in Plano, Texas where he eventually died on 03-11-2019. At the request Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- of the Bonham Police Chief, the Texas Rangers initiated an Officer Involved Shooting investigation, documented in Texas Ranger Investigation File 2019I-TRB-50036017.
