In the lawsuit filed Wednesday, lawyers for Lockett’s mother, Shanetta Lewis, reference the botched Harding Street narcotics raid, adding that the Houston Police Department has “a history of obtaining warrants based on false premises.”
In this image provided by The Foley Law Firm, Charion Lockett, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, poses in his cap and gown at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas. Lockett, a 27-year-old man from Houston, was killed by Houston police on Feb. 7, 2022, while officers attempted to serve an arrest warrant on him for an aggravated robbery charge.
The attorneys claim that Lockett was never interviewed by police to “hear his side of the story or whether Charion Lockett had an alibi.” A marked Houston police vehicle arrived at the home nearly simultaneously with plainclothes officers in a red car, according to body-worn camera footage from the encounter. Police have accused Lockett of firing first in an exchange of fire spanning seven seconds.
