Ft Hood Rd in reference to a disturbance. Upon arrival a Killeen Police Officer located the suspect in the parking lot of the business. The suspect was admittedly "high" on narcotics and had been involved in several additional disturbances with unrelated citizens. The officer attempted to take the suspect into custody and an altercation ensued. The officer requested back up, and an additional officer arrived. The suspect continued to fight with both officers, and became armed with a handcuff when he broke away from the officers. The suspect then charged at an officer. Officers attempted to use a Taser on the suspect, and it was ineffective. One officer fired a single shot from his handgun, striking the suspect. The suspect continued to physically resist the officer as they attempted to provide first aid, while awaiting paramedics. The suspect was taken to the hospital and underwent multiple surgeries over the following weeks. On April 26, 2022 the suspect died while still in the hospital. The autopsy indicated that the suspect died as a result of organ failure and persistent sepsis as a result of the gunshot wound. Custodial Death Report :: Page 7 of 7
