The suspect killed was wanted on three felony warrants and led police on a chase, but his family says body cam footage will reveal he wasn't a threat.

HOUSTON, Texas -- A family is calling on Houston police to release bodycam footage of an officer accused of killing their loved one in April.

According to police, officers saw Randle get into the passenger side of a car, and the driver refused to stop when officers attempted to pull them over.Randle was shot and killed by an officer after he got out of the car, according to police. He had a bag with a gun inside, police say. "He said 'I love you momma' and I told him I loved him back," Tiffany Rachal, his mother said."He was my everything. When police officers shot my child, he took my heart, he took the breath that I breathe."

"I can tell you those officers' perception that day was that gentlemen was armed and they took the appropriate action necessary," Griffith said."There was a pursuit and once he exited his vehicle he did not comply with verbal commands. Had he only complied with verbal commands, we wouldn't be in this situation today."

This guy has a violent history, had a gun while running from the police. All he had to do is comply. This a money push nothing more. Menace to society

How can someone be considered not a threat while running from the cops in a vehicle... 🤔

Black privilege is committing every crime known to man while still remaining the victim

Led a police chase. Not violent? Then why run?
