Summary of How the Death Occurred: (max. 30,000 characters)
Summary:
Pasadena Police were notified of a vehicle that had reported taken in a "Car Jacking" in Houston by OnStar.
Responding officers followed the vehicle until OnStar could de-activate the engine. When Officers attempted
to take the decedent into custody the decedent exited the vehicle with a machete in hand as well as holding a
handgun to his head. The decedent refused to follow officers commands, went to the backside of a nearby
business and took another vehicle in another aggravated robbery. The decedent fled the scene in this freshly
stolen vehicle where he was observed traveling the wrong way on Interstate 45. As he was fleeing officers the
decedent struck numerous vehicles. The decedents vehicle stopped only after law enforcement executed a
"PIT" maneuver. As the vehicle came to a stop the decedent pointed a firearm at officers at which time officer
discharged their weapons. The decedent succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
