Police in Houston shot and killed an African-American man who they say was armed in the middle of Cullen Boulevard near Idaho Street early Saturday morning on Houston’s southeast side.
Police first said Alva Braziel was waving a gun around in the air and not complying with request. After allegedly not doing as told he was shot dead in the middle of the street.
New video released this morning clearly goes against police reports. You can see in this new video that was released after people went to the gas station and asked to see the video. As you can see the story is way different that what police say.
Alva Braziel was looking for his horse that either got out or was lost. Braziel is known to carry his gun on him as he rides his horse in this area.
Police arrived to the location where Braziel is after a call about a man with a gun. Police wasted no time in killing Braziel. You can clearly see from the video he put his hands up and turned around for police, then was shot dead. The officer shot him so quick that he did not even put his SUV in park.
I will be updating this as we get more information.
9:51 am update: Better video of him clearly having hands up.

That was way horrible, it seems to me the cop is afraid of something he doesn’t know so he just shoots. The police need some training on this kind of thing or if they are prejudice then they shouldn’t be allowed to be a cop. That poor man did nothing wrong and now he is dead.. My heart goes out to the family..
