Houston Police Kill Robbery Suspect After Southwest Chase

Houston police fatally shot a man in his 30s after a 15-minute chase that began with a reported robbery in the Alief neighborhood. The pursuit started after officers spotted the suspect, who refused to stop his vehicle, and ended on Aspen Meadow Drive, where the man exited his vehicle holding a gun. Police issued multiple verbal commands to drop the weapon, but the suspect did not comply, prompting officers to open fire. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene despite lifesaving efforts by police, and no officers were injured during the incident. Authorities are investigating the case and plan to release body-worn camera footage within 30 days. The suspect was also being investigated for multiple recent robberies, and further details remain under review.
