OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 07/30/2021, Celina Police Department officers responded at approximately 9:00 p.m. to a report of a suspicious person in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the 100 block of South Alabama Street. Officers encountered Luis Fernando Flores, a 44-year-old McKinney resident, who police said was armed with a handgun. Officers shot Flores during the encounter. He was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities released almost no information about the events leading to the shooting. Police did not publicly explain what Flores was doing before officers arrived, what prompted officers to fire, whether any verbal commands were given, whether de-escalation was attempted, whether Flores discharged or pointed the firearm, how many officers fired, how many shots were fired, or whether body-worn camera footage existed. The identities of the officers involved were never publicly released.
The Texas Rangers conducted the criminal investigation, as is customary for many officer-involved shootings in Texas. However, no public announcement of criminal charges against any officer, grand jury action, disciplinary findings, or a detailed investigative report could be located. Likewise, no publicly reported civil lawsuit or settlement arising from Flores' death was found. As a result, many of the key circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unknown.
