According to Houston Police chief Art Acevedo, the shooting took place on Tuesday when officers responded to a home burglary in the fourth largest city of the US.

The first suspect was shot dead at the scene and the second person, a Hispanic man dressed in black and with a blue bandanna, fled and remains at large.
