OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On July 20, 2024, officers A. Luu and T. Huynh of the Houston Police Department responded to an armed disturbance call at a gas station in the 3100 block of South Dairy Ashford. Upon arrival, they encountered a 27-year-old male who had fled on foot and was later found at the intersection of Westheimer and Dairy Ashford. As the individual fled, he dropped a knife from his backpack, picked it up, and continued running toward a nearby cemetery. Officers Luu and Huynh pursued him and gave repeated commands to drop the weapon. The individual allegedly charged at the officers, still holding the knife, and both officers opened fire, striking and killing him. Despite efforts to administer first aid, the male was pronounced deceased at Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital. The incident is being investigated by the Houston Police Department’s Special Investigations Unit, the Internal Affairs Division, and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
