Houston police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred at 203 West Greens Road around 9 a.m. on Monday, December 1, 2025. A 33-year-old male suspect was shot by an HPD officer after allegedly holding a female employee at gunpoint inside a business.

The officer, M. Reyna, assigned to the North Belt Patrol Division since May 2020, was not injured. The suspect was transported to a local hospital and is expected to survive. The female employee was unharmed.

According to HPD Homicide Division Sergeants M. Brady and M. Casso, the suspect forced the clerk into the business, but she was able to activate a silent alarm.
