A Houston police officer is under investigation on suspicion of being among the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol last week and has been put on leave, officials said Wednesday. 

Video has gone viral of a Texas pet store employee who jumped on the hood of a car to stop the theft of a rare $10,000 bulldog puppy.

Houston police have arrested a suspect in connection with a violent attack Monday night against a bar employee who claimed he had asked a customer to wear a face mask while inside the business because of the coronavirus, according to a report.

A former captain with the Houston Police Department was charged with assault after running a man off the road and holding him at gunpoint in an effort to prove what authorities called “unfounded” allegations of a voter fraud scheme, officials recently announced.

A former federal prosecutor, speaking on the death of Houston social media influencer Alexis Sharkey, said electronic forensics is “paramount” in solving her case.

A man out on bond in a 2016 homicide case that Houston police say involved devil worshipping has been arrested in connection with a murder last month.

The mother of Alexis Sharkey, the 26-year-old social media influencer whose body was discovered naked alongside a Houston road last month, said she was never aware of problems in her daughter's marriage. 

The death has caused a national stir due to the strange and devastating state in which Sharkey's body was found.

Police responded to a report of a man running down the street in his underwear and claiming he had been kidnapped.

Houston Police are compiling video evidence from cameras positioned near the scene where local woman Alexis Sharkey’s body was discovered naked along the side of the road, according to a local affiliate report.
