Police Shooting in Pasadena Texas Ending with Fatality. WARNING! GRAPHIC!

PASADENA, Texas — New details have emerged about a man shot multiple times by an officer after drawing a weapon during a seemingly routine traffic stop in Pasadena March 29, 2018.

The suspect has been identified as Marco Saavedra, 44.

Unknown to the officer at the time, police said Saavedra was wanted for three felony aggravated assault charges and a warrant for jumping bail. It was also recently confirmed the suspect's gun had been reported stolen by the Harris County Pct. 4 Sheriff's Office.

The officer involved was attempting to conduct a traffic stop after Saavedra ran a stop sign on Southmore Avenue near Pasadena Boulevard around 4 p.m Thursday, Asst. Police Chief Josh Brugger said. The officer had followed the vehicle for less than a mile before it turned onto Spooner Road.

"Once the suspect vehicle and police vehicle came to a stop, the suspect opened the door, was very animated with his hands before he stood up, placed his right hand behind his back, Brugger said. "The officer gave him verbal commands, at which time, the suspect drew a weapon, pointed at the officer."

Police said the officer fired at least six rounds at the driver, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.
