Hallis Kinsey, a 26-year-old Black man, died on March 17, 2014, in Houston, Texas after an encounter with police. According to reports, Kinsey attempted to rob someone who escaped and called 911. Officer T. Truong located Kinsey running; Kinsey resisted arrest and fled. On a second attempt to take him into custody, Kinsey allegedly charged at Officer Truong, who then fired his weapon and Kinsey was pronounced dead at the scene. Officer Truong was not injured.

The Houston Police Department’s Homicide and Internal Affairs divisions and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office investigated whether the use of deadly force was justified. Activists included the case on the National Police Violence Map, and the incident prompted public questions about police use of force. No arrests were announced and no suspects were identified in connection with the death.

Does anyone have additional information about Kinsey’s movements that day or witnesses who saw the encounter?
