Houston Police Officers from the North Belt Patrol Division were dispatched to a Criminal Mischief in Progress/Disturbance. Upon arrival, officers located the apartment and cautiously approached. As the officers were about to make contact, they observed the door to be partially ajar; the officer pushed the door open and observed the suspect standing near the door pointing a gun at the officer. Fearing for their lives, the officers discharged their duty weapons multiple times striking the suspect, who was later pronounced deceased on scene.
