An officer with the Houston Police Department is part of a deadly use of force investigation for the fourth time in his six-year career.
HPD confirms he is back on the streets while they look into the most recent incident.
Officer Devin Inocencio’s body camera footage shows the moments he shot 44-year-old Roosevelt Overton on March 11. Officials said the shooting happened near a liquor store on the feeder road in the 26800 block of the North Freeway in Montgomery County.
He and five other
officers were chasing Overton, who was believed to have robbed the liquor store
clerk at gunpoint.
Overton is seen running away with a gun in hand when officers fired multiple shots.
Inocencio was working as part of a crime suppression team that was surveilling Overton. They believed he was involved in more than 20 other robberies in Harris, Montgomery, and Fort Bend Counties.
Innocencio was also part of a squad of officers who
shot and killed Charion Lockett
. The law student was wanted for aggravated robbery at the time, but he did not have any prior criminal history. Body camera footage shows officers swarmed in on him in the driveway of his home.
