I'm Assistant Chief Christy Smith of the Houston Police Department. This critical incident briefing is intended to provide you with information about an officer involved shooting that occurred in Houston on May 17th, 2025. HPD conducts thorough investigations into officer involved shootings. These typically require investigators to interview multiple witnesses, view numerous hours of video footage, and analyze a significant amount of forensic evidence. It is important to note that we are in the very early stages of the investigation and we continue to review additional evidence as it is collected and analyzed. The videos you are about to see can be graphic and may be difficult to watch. These videos may also contain strong language. Viewer discretion is advised. At approximately 3:45 p.m., officers with North Belt Patrol responded to a minor three vehicle crash that occurred in the 10300 block of the North Freeway. One of the three vehicles involved had fled the scene. Officers located the missing vehicle in a parking lot at 10718 North Freeway and made contact with the driver, Mr. Michael Jedic. Officers tried to detain Mr. Jedic to further investigate the incident. He did not comply, reaching into his waistband and pulling out a handgun. Both officers fired their duty weapons, striking Mr. Jedik. Officers rendered aid until HFD paramedics arrived. Mr. Jedjik was pronounced deceased at the scene.
