HOUSTON -- Harris County Sheriff’s deputies shot and killed a convicted sex offender while attempting to serve a warrant for Aggravated Sexual Assault late Saturday night.
According to the sheriff’s department, deputies arrived at the Timbers of Inwood Apartments just after 11 p.m. on a tip that Brian Keith Dunkle, 47, was there at his girlfriend’s home.
Dunkle had been sentenced to ten years in prison for sexual assault in Alaska.
The deputies found him in the apartment, hiding in the bathroom. But as they attempted to serve the warrant, Dunkle pulled out a gun.
The deputies opened fire, and Dunkle died at the scene.
Witnesses said when the deputies knocked on the door, Dunkle grabbed a pistol and said he would not go back to prison.
The incident is being investigated by the Sheriff’s Homicide and Internal Affairs Divisions, as well as the Harris County District Attorney’s Police Integrity Unit. ..more.. by KHOU.com staff report
