Corpus Christi police officer fatally shoots man while responding to assault call
A struggle between a Corpus Christi police officer and a man accused of family violence ended in the officer fatally shooting the man at a Southside residence on July 14. The shooting happened shortly before 6 p.m. as the officer was responding to a call of assault with a weapon at a home in the 7900 block of Elk Street, according to Corpus Christi Police Chief Mike Markle. The call turned out to be a case of continued family violence, he said. When the officer arrived at the residence and met the man, a fight immediately began and spilled out into the front yard, Markle said. As they were fighting, the man got into a vehicle and tried to "back over the officer," who was in the door jamb trying to pull him out, Markle said. The officer then shot his gun at the man, he said. No other officers discharged their weapons. A news release written by senior officer Travis Pace said the officer attempted several times to use "non-lethal force," but the man continued to fight with the officer. After firing his weapon, the officer immediately began to administer first aid, Pace said. Medics took the suspect to a local hospital, where a justice of the peace pronounced him deceased. Police closed down both streets and cordoned off the area of the crime scene as they investigated. Pace confirmed that the victim of the family violence incident was unharmed. The officer who shot the man will be placed on administrative leave according to departmental policy as the investigation continues.
