ORIGINAL STORY: Man wanted in South Carolina shot to death by task force in Houston, U.S. Marshals Service says
HPD says members of the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force attempted to serve a felony warrant at an apartment complex in the 1800 block of El Paseo Street around 8:25 a.m. When they located Brown, US Marshals Office agents performed a vehicle containment technique to prevent the suspect from driving away. Officers wearing clearly marked tactical gear exited their vehicles and attempted to approach the suspect’s vehicle.
An investigation is conducted after a shooting on El Paseo.
The suspect, who was seated in the driver seat of the vehicle, pressed the accelerator in an effort to flee but was only able to spin the tires, HPD says. The suspect then displayed a firearm and several officers with the U. S. Marshall's Office, Harris County Constable Precinct Five and the Texas Department of Public Safety Office of Inspector General all discharged their weapons. No HPD officers discharged their duty weapons in this incident.
The suspect was shot more than one time and was pronounced dead at the scene.
