Once reported, uniformed, on-duty HPD officers arrived and attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the parked vehicle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Police said Spates refused multiple commands to get out of the vehicle and remained inside for an extended period. Eventually, police made a coordinated approach, at which officers believed Spates opened the driver&#8217;s door and extended his arm in a shooting position. As a result, HPD said nine officers discharged their weapons, and Spates was grazed by a bullet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC eTIW sUzSN \">The case is being investigated by the HPD Special Investigations Unit, Internal Affairs Division, and the Harris County District Attorney&#8217;s Office.<br class=\" \"\/><\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 KTRK-TV.
