Sergeant Christopher Charles Lewis Brewster, 32, was shot and killed while on duty on December 7, 2019. Brewster, a nine-year veteran of the Houston Police Department promoted to sergeant in February 2019 and assigned to the Eastside Patrol Division, was responding to a domestic assault call about 5:45 p.m. Officers were told the male suspect was armed with two firearms; the victims had already left the residence. While checking the area, Brewster encountered the couple in the 7400 block of Avenue L.

As he approached the woman, she indicated the suspect, Arturo Solis, who immediately opened fire and struck Brewster multiple times. Critically wounded, Brewster still provided dispatchers and other officers with a description of his injuries and the suspect’s direction before being taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he died. Solis fled but was later apprehended and charged with capital murder. Brewster is survived by his wife, Bethany Elise Brewster, his parents, and three sisters.
