Ashtian Barnes, 34, was fatally shot by Harris County Precinct 5 Deputy Constable Roberto Felix during a traffic stop on Beltway 8 on April 30, 2016. Felix pulled Barnes over for toll violations on a rental car, said he smelled marijuana and asked Barnes to exit and open the trunk.

A Harris County grand jury reviewed the matter and in August 2016 declined to indict Felix. Later appeals courts affirmed a lower court ruling that Felix’s use of deadly force was reasonable. The matter reached the U.S. Supreme Court for review as litigation over the so-called moment-of-threat doctrine continued, while Barnes’ family and advocacy groups pressed for further change. Constable Ted Heap has publicly maintained support for Felix, who remained employed with Precinct 5.
