OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/10/2025, Houston Police Department officers were searching for a 34-year-old man whom investigators believed was connected to multiple aggravated robberies in southwest Houston. At approximately 7:00 p.m., officers responded to a reported armed robbery near Bellaire Boulevard and Kirkwood Road and obtained a description of a vehicle allegedly connected to the robbery. Officers subsequently located a vehicle matching that description and attempted a traffic stop.
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 ending in 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 did not comply and raised one of the firearms toward officers. Seven officers then opened fire: Sergeant L. Chaney and Officers J. Grawe, R. Vasquez, Q. Nguyen, R. Carballo, M. Meola and N. Jaramillo. The officers struck the man multiple times.
Officers provided medical aid until Houston Fire Department paramedics arrived, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. HPD reported that two firearms were associated with the encounter. The department's official shooting database records the deceased as a 34-year-old Latino man and classifies the weapon involved as a firearm.
HPD later released body-worn camera footage from the shooting. The recordings document the pursuit and the officers' confrontation with the man at Aspen Meadow Drive. The footage shows multiple officers firing during the encounter and provides video evidence of the circumstances immediately surrounding the shooting rather than relying exclusively on HPD's initial 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 additional review by the Harris County District Attorney's Office.
Public-record and news searches for the seven identified shooting officers did not locate a clearly documented prior fatal shooting, sustained misconduct finding, disciplinary action or civil-rights judgment attributable to any of them before this shooting.
