Summary

  • Police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred after a vehicle fled from officers during an attempted traffic stop.

Timeline

The crash is being investigated as an in-custody death because deputies were pursuing the vehicle when it crashed.

Deputies had not yet determined who was driving or whether the person killed was the driver. Alberts also confirmed firearms were recovered from the vehicle.

Authorities believe five people were inside, most or possibly all of whom were juveniles. Three occupants were transported to a hospital, while another person, believed to be approximately 15 to 16 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe a fifth occupant fled on foot and have not determined that person's condition.

Investigators said the driver turned off the vehicle’s headlights while fleeing at night before hitting a median curb at high speed and losing control. The vehicle rolled multiple times before coming to rest upright.

The vehicle was reportedly doing donuts and accelerating at high speeds while occupants sat on its doors. When a deputy attempted a traffic stop, the vehicle fled east on 1960 before heading south on Ella Boulevard.

Alberts said deputies were initially called to the Veterans Memorial Drive and FM 1960 area around 11:05 p.m. for a parking lot takeover.

According to Harris County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Eric Alberts, one person was killed, and three others were hospitalized after a vehicle fleeing deputies crashed in the 16500 block of Ella Boulevard.
