It happened just after midnight when Asst. Chief Bryant with the Houston Police Department said officers got a call about a burglary on Bellfort Avenue near Highway 35. Responding investigators were able to meet with a victim, who claimed to have been assaulted, and shared information on the suspect\u2019s whereabouts. <\/p>\n

Police were able to find the burglary suspect on Rook and Waltrip Street, but a brief chase ensued. <\/p>\n

HPD Asst. Chief Bryant confirmed officers saw a gun in his hand. An HPD sergeant nearby, responding to another call, came across the burglary suspect and \u201cgave him verbal commands,\u201d which he ignored, and was shot by the sergeant, killing him. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear (based on preliminary information) if the burglary suspect fired his weapon, but investigators did recover his gun from the scene. <\/p>\n

Per protocol, the sergeant has been placed on administrative leave while an internal and external investigation is conducted. <\/p>\n
