Houston Shootout Suspect Denied Bail | Texas News

Houston PD releases bodycam footage from a deadly August shootout involving suspect Demetri ONeal Thomas, who faces seven felony charges after allegedly opening fire on cars and refusing to drop his weapon during an officer encounter. Three people were injured, prompting officers and a DPS trooper to return fire. At his bond hearing, the first officer testified Thomas was dressed in fishnets and underwear and spoke incoherently; defense argued he’s medically unstable and questioned his citizenship, but prosecutors highlighted his prior nine-year sentence for aggravated robbery and kidnapping, leading the judge to deny bail. Thomas’ arraignment is scheduled for October 8th.
