A rally involving Democratic state lawmakers was interrupted Saturday by a group calling for justice for a man killed by Houston police last April. It lead to heated moments on the steps of city hall, but ended with a common goal.
The group of state lawmakers were having a rally on the steps of city hall to talk about some of the controversial bills making their way through the state legislature, when a separate group of protesters seeking justice for Jalen Randle interrupted the lawmakers’ agenda. The exchange, which got heated at times, lasted 20 minutes.
Randle, 29, was shot in April 2022 by Houston police officer Shane Privette. Randle’s family said body camera footage showed Randle, who had no visible weapon, trying to run away from the officer when he was shot in the back of the neck. Privette was never charged in connection to the death.
