How they died
Deadly force
According to the HPD Public Affairs Division, Pierce held a man at knifepoint after they argued on a bus. The bus stopped, other passengers fled, and officers set up a perimeter and tried to reason with Pierce. He lost patience with negotiations and tried to stab his hostage, Sergeant K. Johnson entered the bus and shot him. Pierce died at Ben Taub General Hospital.
