An 18-year-old Texas man shot and killed by police earlier this month is believed to have gunned down a father waiting in line at a McDonald’s in Houston, police said.A man identified as Clifton Zeno was fatally shot inside of a McDonald’s on the night of Feb. 23 in west Houston, McClatchy News previously reported. Zeno and a man were arguing over a spot in line when the suspect pulled out a gun, opened fire and ran out of the restaurant, witnesses told police.
Days later, on March 2, investigators closed in on a suspect, 18-year-old Alberto Riascos, executive police Chief Matt Slinkard said at a news conference Monday, March 7.
Riascos also had an open warrant in Harris County for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, Slinkard said.
Officers found Riascos walking back to his apartment, which is near the McDonald’s where Zeno was killed, and attempted to arrest him.
However, the 18-year-old fired a handgun at an HPD sergeant, who fired back and killed him, according to Slinkard.

Roberto Villalpando and Natalia E. Contreras, Austin American-Statesman
Two police officers investigating a motel shooting in North Austin on Sunday traded gunfire with a man and killed him in an unrelated confrontation, police said.Austin Police Chief Joe Chacon, briefing reporters Sunday night, did not identify the man who was shot but confirmed that police recovered the man’s weapon.
Chacon also did not identify the officers involved in the shooting, saying only that one of the officers was a rookie and the other was veteran who was training him.
Police initially responded at 2:55 p.m. to a shooting at a Motel 6 on the southbound service road of Interstate 35 North, in the 7100 block near the intersection with East St. Johns Avenue.
The victim in that shooting had critical injuries but was taken to a hospital and was in stable condition Sunday night, the police chief said.
“That shooting is not related to our officer-involved shooting,” he said, “that’s simply the call that (police) found themselves here on.”

Peoria police shot and killed a man near Liberty High School on Sunday night.Officers responded to a domestic-violence call around 8:30 p.m. near Lake Pleasant and Beardsley roads, and when they arrived they saw a man get in a vehicle and speed off.
Police determined the man had damaged items in the home and was arguing with the woman before leaving, police said in a statement on Monday afternoon.
Another officer saw the vehicle and thought the driver may have been impaired, so the officer tried to stop the vehicle but the man hit a curb and kept driving, according to police.

First, and love the 3fer.
I really wish they would add the state to these towns. How many Peorias are there? Sounds like it is in Ohio except the paper is Arizona.
There is a Peoria in Illinois. Worked in OPS there for the Army Recruiting Battalion.
I believe the Peoria in Arizona is named after the Peoria in Illinois.
WW grins! FGS are hard enough to find of late and trifecta DRTs are scarce as hen’s teeth. On the other hand, what with the “mostly peaceful incursion” into Ukraine, news on the Chinese Communist Bat Flu has abated, and there are no more scary articles about the Durham Reports.
Kill somebody over a place in line at Mickey D’s. WTF & DaHell? I’m Lovin’ It that the dirtbag is now dead.
Looks like the rookie officer is getting some good training.
Very obliging of the officers to kill the scum abuser that waved his weapon and asked them to kill him.
That shorely is a purrrrrrty Springfield you gots there Mister. You knew I’d get lost in that linky for a good long time, didn’t ya! Well played Good Sir…well played!
I have one that was birthed in 1918 and fortunately never made it “over there.” It still has the original issue leather sling.
“However, the 18-year-old fired a handgun at an HPD sergeant, who fired back and killed him,”
Good shooting, officer. You are a GO at this station. No further training or range time needed. You may proceed
The Mickey Dee shooting gives new meaning to the term “hangry”, as in “I could kill for a McDonalds”.
Was in Austin TX back in 2010 for the National Hurricane Conference and did not see one person wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat, just a bunch of college kids with skin whiter than my printer paper and henna tattoos. Hilton hotel was opposite the state building. Great BBQ Brisket and that thick toast that came with the chow.
Btws….
My wife has done that. Plus, she
destroyed a tire in the process.
I worked at a garage, I’d say its about 9:1 in favor of the fairer sex.
