HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- HPD officials say preliminary information from the scene is that the suspect began shooting at officers, who fired back. The man was hit, and Houston police later confirmed that he died. His identity has not been released while family members are being notified of his death.

Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said the man was sitting in his car in the driveway when the officers pulled up in front of the residence in a marked vehicle and he immediately began firing before the officers got out of the car.

"We don't know what's going on in these times. We don't know what's going on in people's heads. We have to pray for everybody involved," Finner said. "Nobody wants to show up at work and get involved in a shooting."

Finner said the investigation is in the early stages. Since the shooting took place in Harris County, the Harris County Sheriff's Office will lead the joint investigation with the Harris County District Attorney's Office. HPD will conduct a standard internal investigation as well.

"Nobody knows what's going on in somebody's head, but I know that somehow the violence, it has to cease," Finner stressed.

The officers were not hurt, Finner said. They will be placed on administrative leave during the investigation. At least one HPD vehicle was hit by gunfire, according to Finner.

Police are looking for a man who dined at a Hibachi restaurant in the Bronx and tried to leave without paying earlier this week, throwing food at the server who tried to stop him and coming back later to punch her in the face, authorities say.

The man rang up a bill around $70 at Hibachi Grill and Supreme Buffet on 161st Street Monday, then tried to leave.

A 21-year-old server confronted him outside the restaurant, at which point a fight broke out and he threw food at her, along with other employees, cops say.

He left -- only to return a short time later.

Police say he walked up to that 21-year-old server who had confronted him. She was behind the counter. He punched her in the face and ran off again, cops say.

The victim was treated at a hospital for bruising, pain and swelling and is expected to be OK.

The Monroe Police Department released the body camera video showing what happened the night officers shot a 35-year-old during a traffic stop.

On Feb. 11, Dustin Booth, 35, was stopped by Monroe police at New Garver Road and Lebanon Street around 10:45 p.m.

What led to the eventually deadly encounter between officers and Booth started more than eight hours earlier in the day.

Police said officers got a call from Booth’s wife around 2 p.m. saying he was experiencing a “mental health crisis” and was “a danger to himself and to others.” Police found Booth pulling into his neighborhood and tried to pull him over.

Booth continued to his home, got out of the car and went inside without complying, according to police.

Officers tried to contact Booth over the next several hours as he remained in the residence. Police say they saw Booth had a gun and that he had access to more weapons.

Police said he was “very agitated.”

Efforts by crisis negotiators and mental health professionals failed to resolve the situation, according to police.

To try and calm the situation, officers said they pulled back “in an effort to calm the situation,” but police kept an eye on the home for the safety of the community.

At some point, Booth left the home and got in the passenger side of a car that left the area.

Several officers followed and coordinated a traffic stop to try and take Booth into custody and have him hospitalized for a mental health evaluation, according to police.

Police said they did not have confirmation he was still armed but believed he might be.

At the intersection of New Garver Road and OH-63, Booth got out and failed to comply with the officers’ orders, instead of walking away from his car toward OH-63 with his hands raised.

The driver of the vehicle ran out of the car and yelled multiple times, imploring officers to “Stop him he has a gun!”
