SAGINAW, Texas – Police have been tight-lipped on an officer-involved shooting in Saginaw last week, but the individual’s family and court records have shed more light on the incident.
Individual in Saginaw OIS identified 
What we know:
The family of 19-year-old Alexavier Nahoolewa died as a result of last week’s officer-involved shooting.
A GoFundMe in support of Nahoolewa’s family described him as “a caring, energetic, and loving young man.”
Nahoolewa died after an officer-involved shooting at his family’s house on North Creek Drive in Saginaw on May 7. Police said Nahoolewa resisted arrest, which led to a struggle where an officer struck him.
The GoFundMe goes on to say: “No matter what challenges he may have faced personally, he never allowed them to diminish the love and empathy he showed toward others. That was simply who he was — day in and day out.”
What we don’t know:
Saginaw Police still have not given a detailed explanation of what led to the shooting, having only said that they were serving a felony arrest warrant.
The Texas Department of Public Safety, who is assisting Saginaw Police in the investigation, did not share any new information when asked by FOX 4.
Dig deeper:
Tarrant County Court records show that on May 4, Nahoolewa did not show up for a scheduled court appearance over a Dec. 2025 arrest.
Nahoolewa was facing charges of resisting arrest, evading arrest and unauthorized use of a vehicle. The complaint document says Nahoolewa “did intentionally flee” from police during the Dec. incident.
A judge issued a warrant for his arrest following his missed court appearance.
Saginaw PD did not say in their initial release if Nahoolewa had a weapon or was reaching for a weapon at the time of the shooting.
What we know:
The investigation into the incident continues, and the Texas Rangers are assisting in the investigation as well.
The fundraiser for Nahoolewa’s family has raised nearly $9,000 at the time of this writing.
