Charges have been filed against a suspect who fired shots in the direction of Houston police officers at 5908 Gulfton Street about 3:25 a.m. on September 1.
The suspect, Fabricio Antonio Gomez, 17, is charged with deadly conduct with a firearm in the 228th State District Court. A booking photo of Gomez, who was in custody for an unrelated charge, is attached to this news release.
The HPD officer was not struck by the gunfire.
HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division Detective V. Habukiha and A. Merino reported:
Officers responded to a disturbance call outside a night club at the above address and spoke with a security guard who stated multiple suspects, possibly juveniles, were at the location with a weapon. As officers investigated the incident, the suspects, who were near the scene, discharged a handgun towards the officers’ location prior to fleeing on foot.
Additional investigation, including a National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) match to bullet casings recovered at the scene, led to the identification of Gomez as a suspect in this case. Investigators spoke with Gomez who confessed to his role in the shooting. He was subsequently charged and remains in the Harris County jail.
