Officers Benjamin LeBlanc, Luis Alvarado, Omar Tapia, and Patrick Rubio were “indefinitely suspended” over the shooting of Chavez after the Houston Police Department concluded its investigation into the incident in 2020.

At the time, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner commented:

“No one should conclude that the dismissal of these officers is an indictment on [the Houston Police Department], of the 5,300 police officers.

“But when you are wrong, there are consequences.”

The Houston Police Officers’ Union (HPOU) issued a statement on Monday praising the appeal ruling, releasing a statement stating that the Mayor and other officials were misled by former police chief Art Acevedo into believing the officers violated policy:

“It was clear when viewing the video that these officers did not want to shoot Mr. Chavez and did everything in their power not to.”
