Investigators said Houston police were conducting a prostitution and human trafficking investigation near the Gulf Freeway at Monroe when they spotted a man, identified as in the videos as David Salinas, who was possibly engaging in soliciting prostitution.
Officers said when they tried to pull Salinas over, he fled the scene.
After a short police chase, officers said Salinas crashed his vehicle while making a U-turn under the Gulf Freeway.
In their efforts to get the suspect to exit the vehicle, officers tried to get Salinas to show his hands, but according to Houston Police Assistant Chief Belinda Null and the officers in the video, Salinas continued to reach for something in the vehicle.
After several attempts to detain the suspect, police said two HPD officers discharged their weapons, shooting Salinas.
Salinas was transported to the hospital where he later died.
Investigators said after searching Salinas’ vehicle, they found a gun on the floorboard where the suspect was sitting.
