Houston Police Department’s Northeast Patrol Division were dispatched to a burglary of a motor vehicle in progress with the suspect in possession of a sharp object. Officers arrived in the area and located the suspect and attempted to contact him. The suspect fled the scene on foot attempting to evade officers. After a pursuit, officers caught the suspect and attempted to detain him. The suspect refused to comply and began to actively resist. The suspect was able to get on top of an officer as they fell to the pavement. The suspect then grabbed the officer’s duty weapon and began to remove it from the officer’s holster. The suspect was able to discharge one round from the officer’s weapon without it fully being removed from the duty holster. A responding patrol officer heard the gun shot and discharged his duty weapon twice, striking the suspect. The suspect was pronounced deceased at the scene.
