DashCam: Man Who Claimed To Be CIA Agent Killed By Police
Video explanation:
Police dash cam(Video released October 14/08):A video of the April shooting of Roland Carnaby was released today to the Houston Chronicle by the lawyer for Carnaby’s widow.
Susan Carnaby has sued the city seeking damages and a change in police customs and practices in high speed chases such as the one that preceded her husband’s shooting.
Roland Carnaby, 52, was fatally wounded after fleei More..ng from a traffic stop and leading police on a chase. He was killed after stepping out of his vehicle on a Loop 610 feeder road, turning around and reaching under the seat for a shiny object that turned out to be a cell phone.
Carnaby told the police who stopped him that he was a CIA agent. He made several cell phone calls before and during the chase to people he knew in law enforcement.
The City of Houston asked that the homicide report and other materials, including this video recorded with an on-board camera in a patrol car, be kept secret, but U.S. District Judge Keith Ellison late Friday ruled that the report and other materials could be released, with some personal information redacted.
Susan Carnaby sued the city and Houston Police Department Sgt. Andrew Washington and officer Cecil Foster, who each fired at her husband. A Harris County grand jury declined to indict Washington and Foster in late July
