Police shoot unarmed man: Houston cops shoot Michael Walker multiple times during traffic stop
- 9 years ago
A Houston man was shot by two officers during what was supposed to be a routine traffic stop after police say he began acting suspiciously.
Michael Paul Walker was sitting in the passenger side of a grey sedan Friday night in southwest Houston when the driver made an illegal lane change. Police next pulled over the car at around 9:30 p.m.
The two officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but Walker allegedly ignored repeated verbal commands from the pair and got out of the vehicle.
One officer, who says he was worried Walker was going to reach for a weapon, fired multiple shots hitting Walker’s legs and side.
The 38-year-old was transported to Ben Taub General Hospital where he remains in stable condition.
Walker has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, but police failed to specify what the drug was.
The officers who discharged their duty weapons, J. Pritchett and M. Montano, in the incident are under further investigation.
No weapon was found in Walker’s possession or inside the vehicle.
