What happened
Brian Crawford was killed in a Houston, Texas, police shooting on October 30, 2015. The incident is catalogued by The Washington Post in its fatal shootings by on-duty officers. The national record does not by itself establish the precise encounter or any later criminal charging decision. Accounts of the officers' stated reason for using force, any recovered weapon, whether other people were endangered and the outcome of Houston police's investigation require a case-specific article or agency report. This entry preserves the verified incident and explicitly leaves those details open rather than inventing a confrontation or claiming that an officer was convicted or cleared.
