While one of the sergeants was arresting a man, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the man 'took control of the sergeant's taser' and the officer fired his service pistol.
Homicide Division said deputies responded to the intersection of FM 1960 and Kuykendal around 6:30 p.m.
Brown said a caller stated that a male was attempting to shoplift from a Dollar General store, pushed a manager while exiting the store, leaving with some items. A Harris County Sheriff's Office sergeant, who Brown said has been employed with the department for, what he believes, was 15 years, spotted the suspect, came out, and attempted to stop him. Officials provide the latest information following a deadly deputy-involved shooting in northwest Harris County on Friday evening.
During the fight, the sergeant attempted to use his tazer on the suspect, Brown said. However, the suspect was able to gain control of the tazer during the fight. That's when the sergeant fired his firearm one time, striking and killing the suspect. Brown said the suspect is described as a Black male, between the ages of 40 and 50. He said they believe they've identified the suspect, but notification of next of kin hasn't taken place. As is protocol with deputy-involved shootings, the sergeant will be placed on administrative leave while the investigation is ongoing.
