Houston Police Shoot Armed Suspect Who Failed To Comply

On May 21, 2021 Officers from the Houston Police Department were approached by a man, armed with a gun who repeatedly asked to be shot by police during an un-related traffic stop.


An HPD officer travelling northbound on South Gessner Road noticed two vehicles, a green Ford truck and a black sedan, speeding southbound on Gessner. The officer then turned around and followed behind the green truck, which turned westbound on Bissonnet and ran past two red lights without stopping. The officer then initiated a traffic stop. As they stopped, the officer observed the occupants of the vehicle make furtive movements inside their vehicle. The officer then called for additional officers to assist him.


After additional officers arrived, the male and female inside the vehicle stated they were driving fast to get away from someone shooting at them because of a road rage incident in which they were involved. As officers were conducting their investigation, Sergeant R. Rivera noticed a male (suspect) crossing Bissonnet and walking toward the officers.


The male initiated an interaction with the officers on the scene, during which he brandished a pistol and pointed it at the officers. This led to all four officer on the scene to react to the threat and discharge their firearms. The suspect was struck several times and was transported to Ben Taub General Hospital by Houston Fire Department paramedics where he was pronounced deceased.
