Houston, Texas — The Houston Police Department released bodycam video of a deadly officer-involved shooting that happened on April 9 in northwest Houston. Police said the suspect, identified as 48-year-old Richard Nichols, was trespassing at a business harassing people before officers were called to the scene. Officers obtained Nichols’ description and learned he had a parole violation for organized criminal activity. The officers arrived at the location and found Nichols in a small room inside the business with a gun on the table. While officers were giving Nichols verbal commands, he reached for a gun. At that time, officers discharged their weapons, striking Nichols several times. Nichols was transported an area hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

No blood?
Must of been a head shot because the bluring occurred after the shooting. He would've killed the officers, clear case of him or me. He chose his fate
Taking out the trash.
My favorite part was where he said "OOOOOAAAAGHHHH" and "NUUUUUURRRR"
Looked like a training video.
for what? lol XD
Imagine having a policeman aiming a pistol right at you and thinking " It'd be a good idea to reach for a gun, yeah … I'll have time!"
Wooo what a fool
Last thing he sees and feels is cuffs ….. 👋 👋 bye … and they kept working
The suspect is well served for him being pure evil. Great job, officers.
BLM said defund the police when officers don’t get paid enough. All the while they bought mansions to live in.
Now I know how to set up a person to get killed till the police that they have a gun in there violent
Reaching for a gun in hope not to go to jail but getting shot at the same time and still ending up in jail,
Yes that makes perfect sense to me.
"Sleepy suspect inhales bullets perfectly"
Short sweet and professional AF
Good job.
luckily these officers decided to search for the criminal quietly rather than announce their presence, dude was literally armed with multiple guns including a silenced submachine gun! Good thing these officers caught him off guard.
Why do criminals so frequently have uzis? They're not good guns. The only reason I can think of is concealability and bullet spray, but that's at the cost of losing accuracy.
good kill
"For what?"
— not so famous last words.
Im curious about more details. Was he trespassing at that business in that video??
I originally thought he was a disgruntled employee who showed up to work to do something nefarious. I wonder why he was trespassing there.
I can see them getting in trouble for not declaring they are police officers.
If you're asleep and some random guy point at you with his gun yelling 'put your hands up', it can be legitimate to try to defend yourself.
That is scary stuff for the business owner. If a guy like that was just sitting in one of my buildings…
That was just dumb as hell you cannot draw on a drawn gun dummy
They didn't identify themselves as officers.
Was he actually reaching??? ORRR did the cop just see a gun???…. hummmmm
Organized crime huh. And they put out the cops name that shot him. You better move sir
I’m not sure on that’s shit..Let’s see the cam..you Cowboy’s better get better
What was his crime? I know I usually fight violence with violence. Especially when unannounced guns are pointed at me. Regardless if I like it or not. Forgive my misplaced empathy and thoughts of liberty. They become potent with age.1997-2006 US Marine infantryman Sgt.100P.T. medically retired. Indelibly privileged. Thank-you countrymen for such mission. Semper Fi, 5fox ou…t…um,Joshua
Suspect insight! Move in and clear!
Why aren’t you LEOs tracking the shit coming across instead of flushing businesses..WTF ..
sure would like the backstory on this
Perfect example of a video “if he was black†there would be riots because you don’t see the 911 call and the reasoning behind why they came with guns drawn. It’s all perspective and that’s very important. NOT where the video starts, you need the whole picture and why this is justified
Wheelie tired of his shit
Yuck. What a gross man.
Hold the air haha certainly did for him
