A deputy constable driving to work in Houston was shot and killed by a man who approached his car at an intersection. The suspect led authorities on a chase that ended in Galveston, where he was apprehended after attempting to evade arrest by swimming away. The deputy, Maher Husseini, had been working for the Harris County constable since 2021. The motive for the shooting is still under investigation, with road rage being considered as a possible cause. Texas Governor Greg Abbott expressed his determination to bring the perpetrator to justice.
