The investigation into the fatal shooting of a 62-year-old man by Houston police officers is underway. The investigation will likely take weeks. Investigators do not yet have any suspects or any details about the crime. An autopsy will determine the cause of death. The Houston Police Department has not said what charges may be filed. However, officials have said that the case is a “volatile one.”

The suspect is a 40-year-old African-American male. The officer was a seven-year veteran of the department and has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation. The suspect was a long-time resident of the facility and had recently received an eviction notice. That may have triggered his violent behavior.

The Houston Police Department has arrested one of the suspects in the shooting death of a local man. The name of the suspect will be released once charges are filed. The police department has released surveillance video of the suspect walking into a gas station and is asking the public to assist with their investigation. HPD executive assistant chief Larry Satterwhite said the deceased had been meeting with a Black or African American male.

The suspect then set fire to several homes, waited for residents to exit the building, and then opened fire on the residents. As the residents began to escape the fire, the suspect fired shots and fired into the air. Houston Police Department officers arrived on the scene and engaged in gunfire with the suspect. The suspect was wearing all black and carrying a shotgun.

The family of a Houston man killed in a car crash is seeking answers as to what happened. The crash occurred on Aug. 19, but it was not until the next day that the Houston Police Department assigned the case to an investigator.

According to police, the crash occurred on the 800 block of Lonnie Lane, near I-45. A driver in a black Jeep lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons.

houston man killed in robbery

A Houston man was killed in a robbery, but no one knows who was responsible. According to HPD, a man pointed a gun at the man’s chest and demanded his wallet and money. When the driver refused, the man shot at him. When police arrived, the suspect was dead, but the man’s 2-year-old was still inside the car. An autopsy is planned to determine the cause of death.

Police have not publicly named the suspect, but the Harris County grand jury declined to indict the robber. The robber was charged with aggravated assault and serious bodily injury, but prosecutors say there was a low chance of conviction because the Texas Constitution grants gun owners broad self-defense rights. Even if the man were to confess, there was little chance of getting an indictment.
