On Tuesday, Nicolas Chavez's family spoke about HPD's controversial decision to reinstate the officers and give them pay for time that they missed.
HOUSTON, Texas -- The family members of an alleged suicidal man who was shot and killed by three Houston police officers and a sergeant responded Tuesday to HPD's decision to reinstate them.
On Tuesday, a press conference was held by the Greater Houston Coalition for Justice to denounce the reinstatement of those four officers. Alongside those members was Chavez's father, Joaquin. Back in April of 2020, HPD officers responded to a call involving 27-year-old Nicolas, whose family said was having a mental health crisis at the time.
