Houston Police Officers from the Southwest Division responded to a call at the Alegria Apartments. A security guard at the complex called 911 after trying to detain a male at that location who was suspected of burglarizing the leasing office earlier that same morning. The guard reported that the suspect was armed with a pistol and was inside of a vacant apartment. Officers went to the apartment unit and attempted to call the suspect out. The suspect refused to exit the apartment and began setting items on fire in an effort to set the apartment on fire, including clothing and other items. Recognizing that he was attempting to set fire to the apartment building, the Officers attempted to enter the apartment to stop him, but he had partially barricaded the door from the inside. Officers backed away from the apartment and continued trying to communicate with the suspect. Then, the suspect pointed a handgun at the Officers through the front window blinds of the apartment, and Officers opened fire on the suspect, who was struck multiple times. The suspect then agreed to drop his weapon and exited the apartment. He exited the apartment in the nude and surrendered. Officers rendered medical aid to the suspect, and he was then transported to an area hospital via ambulance where he is currently in stable condition. Evidence of the earlier burglary and of the arson were found inside the apartment unit during a subsequent search. A replica handgun was found in the living room of the apartment, adjacent to the suspect’s location when he was shot.
