Wednesday, January 16, 2014 - Incident
--------------------------------------
Mr. Jordan Baker (26-year-old Houston Community College student and father) was shot and killed January 16, 2014 after Houston Police Department Officer Juventino Castro said he stopped Mr. Baker at a northside shopping center to question him.

According to Castro, Mr. Jordan Baker was riding his bike through the strip mall, and when he tried to stop him the two got into a scuffle.

Officer Castro said Mr. Baker ran from him, then struggled with him. Officer Castro said he fired once when he thought Mr. Jordan Baker was pulling something from his waistband. However, it turned out that Mr. Jordan Baker was not armed.

Tuesday, December 23, 2014 - Harris County Grand Jury (No Bill)
