A 27-year-old mother of two has been fatally shot by an off-duty sheriff's deputy after he suspected her of shoplifting at a Houston Walmart.
Harris County Sheriff's deputies have said that victim Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig were stealing when they were confronted by Louis Campbell a 26-year veteran of the force who works as a security guard at the store.
According to Campbell the women ran to their car and when he rushed to open the door, they accelerated away - at which point he fired the deadly shot into the car which hit Frey in the neck.

Tragically, Frey wasn't even supposed to be at a Walmart that evening.
Earlier in the year she pleaded guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat from another Walmart and as part of her plea arrangement she agreed to never enter Walmart stores again.

Guess I did overestimate your intellect.
I will give you another shot to redeem yourself.
If someone posts here in their version of blackspeak, are they racist?
It is a yes/no question. Choose one or call me a name. If you call me a name, the racists will agree with you and giggle. Everyone else will know the truth.
Read the thread. There is more, and from locals with a better picture than the article has.
I don’t need to stoop to your level. You played the lefty race card, defended the criminal, and got snotty when called on it. I’ll let Freepers decide who’s right. Oh, I forgot, you already called Freepers “racist”. You lose, and I won’t bother to reply to your taunts. You’re nowhere near as smart as you seem to think you are, but you’re in denial. IOW, a typical liberal.
The reason I quoted your one line that cars don't drive sideways, is the obvious bias your statement showed. Not all bigotry is based on color, some is founded in pride against others in worse situations than yourself.
To explain my vision of the situation from the information in the article let me spell it out for those who missed the clues.
To fire in a doorway of a car you have to be beside the car. The car would have to drive sideways to attack you unless you are partway IN the car. Think illegal entry, search warrant and other issues that WILL come up in court.
So it seems that the information given show the cop, in the doorway of the car by his own testimony, and the panicked driver trying to pull away from the guy with the gun.
The driver and passengers that most likely had no idea what was going on, or they would not have brought their kids.
I have the advantage of thinking the situation out with hindsight, something the cop or the driver did not have. However, that is why you do not escalate issues way beyond their surroundings, as they might just blow up in your face and somebody get hurt.
A lesson that can be learned from if someone is able.
So take your bigotry, and pugnacious way and climb back under your bridge troll, cause if you can miss the obvious from the clues in this story, you really cannot judge my intentions or understanding with no clues. Your world view is way to simple, one could say even ignorant.
Ozzy, you just beat up that strawman, I’ll get popcorn ok?
Keep digging perv, eventually you'll bury yourself.
Your? You just can't help yourself, can you?
I will take my morality
Since when are false allegations and lies a sign of morality? You really need an education.
The reason I quoted your one line that cars don't drive sideways
That was your line, not mine.
The car would have to drive sideways to attack you
The car is inanimate and incapable of attacking.
the panicked driver trying to pull away from the guy with the gun.
The uniformed officer who damned well better have a gun.
The driver and passengers that most likely had no idea what was going on, or they would not have brought their kids.
Stuffing their purses with merchandize is not knowing what is going on? Making a getaway is not knowing what is going on? Are you that gullible and ignorant?
your bigotry
Your ignorance, false accusations and gullibility are on full display. You must be a product of our failed public school system.
Be sure and share that popcorn with the criminals you love so much.
Thanks for proving my point.
Now you have lied, shown poor reading comprehension, and defended racists. You sound like a great guy.
You don’t have a point. You’re just another liberal who likes to argue and lie.
I got that paragraph thing. I do format it correctly and when I post this page changes is. Sooooo I really don’t want to hear it tell the owner of this place.
The most popular number is three women. Yep we do need the video before they can call in the senior race bater old Jessee Jakasson and he can claim that this was a blind and deaf little girl sitting on her pony minding her on business.
very important ~ why do you think the site changes your format? It doesn’t change mine?
That is total BS. A sworn officer as all police are, is sworn to uphold the law 24/7/365. It is mandated that they respond to any felony they see. There is no variable on this. It is part of the job and part of their life. They still have a right to work a second job during their off hours but they still are sworn peace officers. You really need to take a reality check and do some research before you post crap like this.
You do realize that EVERYONE involved in this could be tagged with capital murder so they're all lawyering up, and nobody is talking.
Now that your argument has been reduced ashes you play the race card so you can try and make yourself right about something.
Go away and take your left wing racism with you. There are consequences to actions in the real world and your race card does not trump that.
I have no clue why it does it but it does.
So, what's the problem here? Well, the way we all see it is that cops usually claim somebody was trying to run them over ~ even when they weren't. That makes it self-defense, no matter who you might shoot in the motor vehicle. The claim of self-defense requires the state to address the circumstances with other evidence or witnesses ~ e.g. the videos, but there are lawyers who can argue anything ~ and they will.
The cop faces the possibility of being charged with a capital crime ~ but so do all the folks in the car (has to do with a death occurring as a consequence of participating in a crime ~ you don't have to be the killer to be held accountable for the death). Then, there's Walmart and their security team ~ what was it they saw and were they correct? We don't know any of that yet ~ but if they were wrong, that wrongful death charge might come swinging their way.
I would imagine EVERYBODY involved in the slightest way in this event is in a state of high anxiety and will be for quite some time.
If you want to know what's really on the videos watch how Walmart's lawyers respond to the Grand Jury preceedings ~ if there was a wrongful death they'll be talking tangentially about whether or not those videos can even be used. That's the right against self-incrimination! If the women are guilty of everything, Walmart will trot those videos out by this Friday (motion's day)
If someone writes trying sound like an ignorant black man, are they racist or not?
Third time I have asked you the same question. Your answers are personal insults. Are you always such a coward? Why can’t you answer?
No, that isn't the way we all see it. It is the way you, the cop haters and scofflaws see it.
If the accused were not stealing, why did Walmart employees notify security? When the uniformed officer attempted to question them, why did they attempt to escape?
