At Rest

Deadly force
Police were investigating a robbery of a food delivery person by several reportedly armed people. Officers were directed to an empty apartment where the thieves were supposedly hiding. When they went in, there was a gunfight. They fled, and a foot pursuit began. During the pursuit, Javier Lopez allegedly fred several shots at the deputies. He eventually stopped near the complex leasing office, turned toward deputies and pointed a revolver at them. Ten Harris County deputies and one Cy Fair ISD police officer shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Javier Lopez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
