Houston, Texas — The Houston Police Department released body camera footage of a deadly police shooting in southwest Houston. The shooting happened last month, in the early morning hours of May 21. The body camera footage shows 25-year-old Zaekwon Gullate approach four Houston police officers while they’re conducting a seemingly unrelated traffic stop on Bissonnet Street.

At about 1:24 am HPD officers assigned to the south gestner division initiated a traffic stop in the 9400 block of bissinet. Approximately 22 minutes later while officers were interviewing the occupants of the vehicle, Zaekwon Gullate walked towards them from across the street. Sergeant Ricardo Rivera walked towards Gullate and asked “do you know them?, do you need something?”.

Gullate continued to approach the officers with his hands in his pockets and said “shoot me”. Sergeant Rivera asked Gullate “why are you saying that?”. Sergeant Rivera drew his gun and gave Gullate verbal commands to show his hands. Sergeant Rivera told Gullate to put the gun down. Other officers on the scene of the traffic stop, also gave commands to drop the gun.

Gullate pointed the gun at the officers and fired. Sergeant Rivera, Officer Colby Smajstrla, Officer Ricky Mclemore and Officer Moises Alfaro discharged their duty weapons. Officers rendered first aid until Houston Fire Department paramedics arrived and transported Gullate to the Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. A gun and a spent ammunition casing were located next to Gullate.

  1. You can just feel what the cops are feeling, when one of them "oh man, what do we got here" it's like here we go again. You just here the drag in their voice.

  2. I'm sorry, but that officer yelling "Please help me" and running, I wouldn't want you to have my back in a gun fight.

  3. Very lucky nobody was shot driving through the gun fire . After they did that and dropped the moron One of those officers should have gone to the other side of the road and stopped the traffic ffs … that was the only mistake they made there . Stupid got what he wanted unfortunately . Why cant these ppl have the balls to just shoot themselves and not bring others into their bullshit is beyond me . Grow a pair and do it yourself .

  4. 35 bullets…is he hit ??

    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  5. With all this technology in 2021, and these departments can't figure it out? I don't buy it, a police officer should be charged with a felony for blocking the body camera.

  6. It’s like an Ol’ western movie! to see the copers drawn down and go work with their shooten irons

  7. Suicide, regardless if you try/do it yourself or with the assistance of someone, is a mental illness. Mental illness is huge in America and you can't do a lot to stop these types of occurrences since it happens so quick.

  8. Why do suicidal people with guns often provoke the police to kill them? Wouldn't it be easier to do it yourself?

  9. 😆😆😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍🏿👍🏿

  10. Bravo Sgt.!!! Situational awareness was on point. Spotted the guy approaching then had nerves of steel after the shooting. I’ll work under this guy any day.

  11. I always watch all of your videos and always like them, this channel is absolutely amazing and shows what real police scrutiny should look like.
