HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A suspect has died in what the Houston Police Department called an “unfortunate incident” after being tased while being taken into custody on the city’s southeast side on Sunday.
The video above is from ABC13’s live-streaming channel.
The situation unfolded in the 11000 block of Sageleaf Lane around 7:30 a.m.
HPD sent a post on platform X, formally known as Twitter, describing the nature of the scene.
HPD Commanders & PIO are en route to the 11000 block of Sageleaf Lane after a suspect’s death.
Prelim info is officers deployed tasers at a suspect while responding to an exposure call. Suspect pronounced deceased at the hospital.
According to Asst. Chief Wyatt Martin with HPD, officers were notified of an exposure call in the area before neighbors said a naked man was running and screaming in the streets.
Once officers arrived, the man, who lived on the street, was found in his neighbor’s backyard. HPD said the man was uncooperative as they gave orders to surrender.
The officers then called in additional backup and the Houston Fire Department due to the man’s “agitated state,” according to police.
HPD said the man became physical with officers as they placed him into custody, leading one of them to use their stun gun on the man.
Officials said the man was hit with a taser just once.
Police said just about one minute later, the suspect became unresponsive. HFD paramedics at the scene attempted life-saving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The suspect was believed to have been under the influence at the time.
HPD said the medical examiner will determine a cause of death after an autopsy is completed.
A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for the following counties: Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Houston, Madison, Polk, San Jacinto, Trinity, Walker. The Watch is set to expire at 10 A.M. on Monday. The city of Houston is not included in the Watch.
Despite the Flash Flood Watch in our northern counties, most of us remain dry, though a few showers and storms could develop over Houston and Southeast Texas in the afternoon. It’s not until after Sunday evening, around 7 or 8 p.m., when the storm threat increases especially for our northern counties. The main line of storms should arrive in the Houston area around Midnight.
What’s the latest on the potential for severe weather in Southeast Texas?
Thunderstorms are in the forecast for both Sunday and Monday which could become strong to severe. Isolated showers and storms could develop later Sunday afternoon across Southeast Texas, including Houston. So if you have outdoor plans for Sunday, that’s definitely something to take note of. And while we’re not expecting those to become severe, some of the storms that develop later Sunday evening could. The best chance for that will be north of the city of Houston in our northern counties beginning as early as 7 or 8 p.m. Strong winds gusts, hail and heavy rain will be the primary threats. Then those storms will move from north to south across Southeast Texas, moving into Houston overnight. They’ll likely weaken as they do, but some gusty winds, hail and heavy rainfall cant be ruled out. As for Monday, the remnants of those overnight storms will push towards the coast early in the morning. Then there’s one more chance for a few scattered showers and storms alter in the day, but we’re not expecting those to be severe at this point.
And after a stormy start to the week, what’s next?
The final few days of April and first few of May are looking warm, humid and with the chance for a few showers and storms each day through Friday. This activity doesn’t look to be organized severe weather, but a couple of showers and storms across Southeast Texas could develop each day of the work week.
Are there any more cool fronts coming ahead of summer?
We now have one penciled in for the first Friday of May! This front will bring a chance of thunderstorms when it blows in followed by a day or two of slightly lower humidity. It may not do much to drop our temperatures.

In a familiar move from last year’s draft, the Texans traded up AGAIN from the Philadelphia Eagles and acquired the 123rd pick. With the trade, the Texans selected Ohio State tight end Cade Stover, reuniting him with quarterback CJ Stroud.
League sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Texans acquired the No. 78 overall pick from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Houston’s 86th and 123rd pick. Houston then selected USC safety Calen Bullock with the 78th overall pick.

Reggie Bush, the former University of Southern California (USC) football star, has been formally reinstated as the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner after a long-standing controversy and subsequent forfeiture of the award. This reinstatement by the Heisman Trust marks a significant turn in the narrative of Bush’s athletic career and reflects broader changes in the landscape of college sports. Let’s dive into the details:
Background of the Controversy
Reggie Bush originally won the Heisman Trophy in 2005 but forfeited the award in 2010 following an NCAA investigation. The investigation found that Bush and his family had received improper benefits while he was a student-athlete at USC. This led to severe sanctions against USC, including vacating wins and a national championship.
The decision to reinstate Bush’s Heisman Trophy comes against the backdrop of significant shifts in college athletics, particularly regarding the rights of student-athletes to profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL). These changes were catalyzed by the 2021 Supreme Court decision in the Alston case, which challenged the NCAA’s restrictions on student-athlete compensation.
The Reinstatement
The Heisman Trust announced the reinstatement of Bush’s trophy, acknowledging the profound changes in the college sports environment that now accepts the compensation of student-athletes as standard practice. Bush’s original trophy has been returned to him, and a replica will be placed at USC. Furthermore, Bush will be invited to all future Heisman Trophy ceremonies starting from the 2024 season.
Welcome Home!
We are reinstating the 2005 Heisman Trophy to the University of Southern California’s @ReggieBush!
In 2005, Bush gained more than 2000 yards from scrimmage and scored 18 touchdowns. He received 784 first-place votes, the fifth-most in Heisman Trophy history, while… pic.twitter.com/34oCD7P8CY
Reggie Bush expressed his gratitude and excitement about being reinstated, highlighting his eagerness to contribute to the Heisman Trust’s mission and values. Michael Comerford, president of the Heisman Trophy Trust, stated that the time was ripe for this reinstatement, given the “profound changes in college athletics over the past decade”.
In addition to the reinstatement, Bush had previously filed a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA in August 2023. This lawsuit was in response to the NCAA’s handling of his case, particularly their public statements that Bush argued were damaging to his reputation. The outcome of this lawsuit remains to be seen and could further impact Bush’s standing with the NCAA.
Conclusion
Reggie Bush’s reinstatement as the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner is a landmark decision that not only rectifies a personal grievance but also reflects broader societal shifts towards recognizing and compensating the contributions of student-athletes. This decision is celebrated by many as a step towards justice for athletes who are often at the mercy of larger governing bodies in sports.
The 11th annual Houston Latin Fest celebrated the diverse and colorful culture of Latin America in a vivid two-day festival of music, food, dance, and market in Crown Festival Park in Sugar Land, Texas on April 13 and 14. Over 50 performers graced the stage with a wide variety of talents, from traditional music and dance such as folkloric dances from Mexico, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela to upbeat Caribbean rhythms such as salsa and merengue.
The Mexican folkloric dance group from Nacogdoches, Texas, Grupo de Danza Folklórica Mexicana Ketzaly, talked to Que Onda Magazine about their Latin Fest debut.
“We are very happy because it is a very beautiful and well-organized festival, we hope to be here next year,” said the founder of the group, Guadalupe Rodriguez in Spanish. “We like everything [about folkloric dance] because… the costumes, it’s an art. And everyone makes their own braids… flowers and we put a lot of effort into the dance and rehearsals.”
Founded 12 years ago, Houston Latin Fest is a cultural staple for Hispanics and Latinos in Houston. The Latin American countries were represented vividly through the proud waving of flags. The “sabor latino” served diversely through the cuisine of different countries including Salvadoran pupusas, Mexican tacos and gorditas, South American empanadas and more.
Que Onda Magazine is a proud sponsor of Houston Latin Fest to showcase the vibrant talents and culture of Latinos in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — We are winning with weather to start the work week! After warming into the low 70s Monday afternoon, temperatures Tuesday morning will dip into the low 50s.
How long will the cooler, drier air stick around?
If this type of weather is your jam, Tuesday is all you’ve got left to enjoy it before the warm, humid Gulf air returns on Wednesday.
Does that mean the smoky haze will come back, too?
Yes. With the wind flow coming back at us from Mexico and Central America on Thursday, the haze, humidity, and storm chances should all return for the second of the week.
How does the weather for the weekend look right now?
At this time we expect it to be a warm, humid, and breezy weekend with lows in the low 70s and highs in the low 80s. While Saturday should stay mostly dry, we are monitoring the possibility of some strong thunderstorms arriving Sunday as a powerful weather system blows out of the Rockies and into the Plains. The details are still fuzzy this far out, so we’ll keep you posted on the storm potential throughout the week.
