A man "believed to be the alleged gunman" (click here) in the killing of a uniformed Houston-area sheriff's deputy was in custody and being questioned Saturday morning, Sgt. William Kennard of the Texas Department of Public Safety told CNN.
No charges have been filed against the man, Kennard said. The man's name wasn't given.
It
was the man's mother who called the Harris County Sheriff's Department
about her son, Kennard said. "All the information she had heard led to
him."
A red pickup truck was parked at the spot where deputies took the person in custody, according to video shot by CNN affiliate KTRK. Authorities had said the suspect drove away from the shooting in a red Ford Ranger....
I don't understand how this was an execution style murder. When I think of an execution I think of a person with hands and feet bound. It isn't bad enough the sheriff's deputy is dead? I don't think we need the adjectives.
It appears as though the gunman acted alone. Is that right?
It would be remiss of me to ignore the comments on news articles. There are people asking "Where are the demonstrations?" That is racist. Murder is a crime. The African American community has been consistently witnessing the killing of unarmed men. We know the statistics within the African American population is far worse than in other demographics in the USA.
There are also profound problems in the victimizing of young African Americans both men and women. The prisons statistics is horrible.
The sheriff's deputy should be alive today. But, so should be homeless and African American men. Confusing the issues over a horrible death of a sheriff's deputy is not honoring him.
Can the reporting stick to the facts and not attempt to create a far different set of racial tensions.
