Houston Police Shoot and Kill Jose Macedo

Courthouse 1

 

The Houston Police Department filed a custodial death report with the Attorney General of Texas regarding the death of Jose Macedo, only 33 years old at the time.  Information posted here was obtained from that report, and we make no allegation of any wrongdoing.  Instead, we are simply providing information.

On October 24, 2017, Houston police officers were on duty when they heard through dispatch a general broadcast of a robbery in progress at a McDonald’s nearby.  They responded to the call.  Allegedly, Mr. Macedo had a screwdriver in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other hand.  Mr. Macedo allegedly refused commands to drop the weapons.  Officers allegedly used electronic weapons on Mr. Macedo, with no result.  Ultimately, Mr. Macedo was shot and killed.
