OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/10/2025, Houston Police Department officers were investigating a series of aggravated robberies in southwest Houston. At approximately 7:00 p.m., officers responded to another reported armed robbery near Bellaire Boulevard and South Kirkwood Road and obtained a description of a vehicle allegedly connected to the robbery. Officers subsequently located a vehicle matching that description and attempted to stop its driver.
According to HPD, the driver initially stopped and asked officers why they were stopping him, then returned to his vehicle and drove away while police pursued. The pursuit continued for approximately 15 minutes through southwest Houston before reaching the 8800 block of Aspen Meadow Drive at approximately 7:25 p.m.
HPD alleged that the man exited his vehicle carrying two firearms. Officers ordered him to drop the weapons. Police further alleged that he failed to comply and raised one of the firearms toward officers. Seven officers then opened fire, striking him multiple times: Sgt. L. Chaney and Officers J. Grawe, R. Vasquez, Q. Nguyen, R. Carballo, M. Meola and N. Jaramillo.
Officers provided medical aid until Houston Fire Department personnel arrived, but the man died at the scene. HPD's subsequent officer-involved-shooting database records the deceased as a 34-year-old Latino man and confirms that a firearm was listed in connection with the encounter. His name remained undisclosed in the subsequent public reporting located for this update.
HPD released body-worn-camera footage on 09/09/2025. The recordings document the pursuit and final confrontation and show multiple officers firing after the man emerged from the vehicle. The video therefore provides visual evidence of the final encounter in addition to HPD's written account.
HPD identified all seven shooting officers. Chaney had served with HPD since December 2014; Grawe since October 2023; Vasquez since December 2021; Nguyen since January 2024; Carballo since May 2019; Meola since January 2024; and Jaramillo since January 2024. Chaney, Grawe, Vasquez, Nguyen, Carballo and Meola were assigned to Westside Patrol, while Jaramillo was assigned to South Gessner Patrol. HPD's Special Investigations Unit and Internal Affairs Division investigated the shooting, with review by the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
