OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Houston PD tried to traffic-stop a vehicle that kept driving. Houston PD escalated the chase to 100 mph until the fleeing vehicle crashed into a 19-year-old Latino man and killed him. Police did not state what the dire emergency was that might justify the fatal chase on a busy public street which cost a bystander his life and instead plan to charge the fleeing man with homicide, as is customary in the American justice system.
