Man who was shot and killed by police in Kendall had a violent history, records show

David Ovalle
Miami-Dade police fatally shot 21-year-old Richard Hollis after he allegedly wielded a knife during a “violent encounter” with his mother in Kendall. Hollis, records show, had a history of strife with his own family and neighbors.

Hollis had been awaiting trial after he was arrested in April 2021 on allegations he attacked an 88-year-old neighbor who complained about the man repeatedly walking his large dog without a leash. Police said he pushed the man to the ground, then kicked him, at the Kendall apartment complex where they both lived, according to an arrest report.

Hollis was also charged with battery on a law-enforcement officer after police said he slammed the door on the face an officer who came to arrest him. Officers had to stun him with a Taser, an arrest report said. The charge was later reduced to a misdemeanor.

His trial for felony battery on an elderly person was set for July 11.

Officials: Leander police officer shot and killed man during drug search at Austin hotel

Claire Osborn, Austin American-Statesman
A Leander police officer shot and killed a 34-year-old man inside an Austin hotel room while carrying out a narcotics search warrant early Tuesday, according to a police news release. The Leander Police Department said the man’s name is not yet being released because relatives need to be notified.

Leander Assistant Police Chief Billy Fletcher said it was the first deadly use of force in the department’s history.

The shooting happened while officers were carrying out the warrant at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Extended Stay Hotel at 9909 North Lamar Blvd. in Austin, the release said. It did not explain the circumstances that led to the officer firing a weapon.

Police recovered 2.3 kilos of methamphetamine including 1,000 Ecstasy tablets, 12 ounces of psilocybin, 250 Xanax, two guns and $6,795 in cash at the scene, Fletcher said.

Doncha just love the smell of a quad-fer DRT FIRST (ht2 R-D) thing of a morning? They’re out there, we just have to hunt them out. Four less parasites on society and four more parasites burning in Hell.

Real nice “reach out and touch” device you gots there Mister. Would come in handy shoring up the North Wall @ Firebase Magnolia.

The ones that make the law sold their morals long ago.

Richard Hollis showed his “Richard” once too often. He shoulda had his career ended sooner, but OK, it is done now.

I wouldn’t mind having that there Savage around the GB Compound, either, KoB.

The two in the “targeted” home invasion are no loss. Statistically, the shooter probably could have also benefited by taking a couple center-mass rounds but I guess I’ll have to take what I can get.

Looks like Ruger Precision Rifle (RPR) has gone up in price since its inception. On the Ruger website, they’re showing $1900-$2500 MSRP for various models.
Cabella’s is showing $1500-$2000 for a 308.

Still, even at that cost, well worth the price of admission.

(rimshot..)

If this is the town’s first deadly use of force, wow! I tip my hat to you (if I was wearing one).
Other then this one blip, I hope your town continues its bucolic history.
