The incident happened around 7:30 p.m. in the 8800 block of Aspen Drive, where a pursuit came to an end following a robbery near Bellaire and Kirkwood.

After the chace ended, the suspect was given clear orders, HPD says, but ultimately ignored those commands, left his vehicle, and caused officers to feel threatened with a weapon.

The suspect was shot while outside his vehicle, and lifesaving measures were attempted until backup arrived. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect is believed to be in his mid-30s, but no further identifying information was given.

No officers were injured, HPD says.
