Houston, Texas
An off-duty Houston police officer who fatally shot one man and injured another while attempting to break up a fight in the parking lot of a bar over the weekend has been relieved of duty, authorities said Monday.
Officer Jose Coronado was suspended with pay pending the outcome of the investigation of the shooting, said Houston Police Department spokesman John Cannon. Cannon would not elaborate on the reason for the suspension. Coronado previously had been placed on administrative desk duty — department policy for all shootings involving officers.
Officials said he fatally shot Omar Ventura and wounded the man's brother, Rolando Ventura, in an incident on Saturday involving a longtime friend of the officer.
