Davion Edison was an 18-year-old male who died on December 30, 2019, in Houston, Texas, in an officer-involved shooting. The vehicle he was driving had been reported stolen during a carjacking, prompting a pursuit that involved both Pasadena and Houston patrol units. After his car struck a Pasadena patrol vehicle, Edison fled on foot. Officials say he fired at least one shot at officers, ignored commands to drop a gun, and was shot when he turned toward officers with the weapon in hand.

Edison’s family has pressed for the release of body camera footage to clarify the final moments. Local police departments have not made the footage public, citing ongoing investigations and concerns about affecting jury pools. The family, represented by community activist Quanell X, says they were shown some footage and believe the shooting was justified, but continue to seek broader transparency and closure.

Did anyone in the Houston or Pasadena area witness the chase or have information about the traffic stop that could help the family’s understanding of what happened?
