As part of their call to release body cam footage, wanted felon Jalen Randle's family said he should have been given a chance to rectify his mistakes.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Family and friends of Jalen Randle gathered on Friday where he was shot and killed by an officer on Wednesday to call for a thorough investigation and the body cam footage to be released.On Wednesday afternoon, members of the narcotics team were searching for 29-year-old for his three felony warrants, according to the Houston Police Department.
Police say when they tried to pull Jalen Randle over, the driver sped off. When officers stopped the car and Jalen Randle got out of the passenger seat, an HPD officer shot and killed him. HPD says Randle was carrying a bag that had a gun inside. "If he had got out and pointed the gun, different discussion. If he had got out with a gun in his hand, different discussion. Those dynamics do not exist," said Quanell X."We want them tried like anybody else and investigated by the Harris County District Attorney's Office. We are also asking for the FBI to step in," said Quanell X.On Friday, Jalen Randle's mother, Tiffany Rachal, was too distraught to speak.
HPD says they are not releasing any further information about the shooting at this time because it's an ongoing investigation.For more news updates, follow Courtney Carpenter on
