BREAKING: The city of Galveston’s police chief has been placed on administrative leave and is now under investigation after officers reportedly raided a family's home in search of a murder suspect who has since been proven innocent.

The investigation is said to be due to a “failure of communication” during the raid, which took place on Jan. 22.

Officers from Galveston Police Department say they were searching for a murder suspect that they believed was inside a home on Avenue O. Background information: Police say the actual murder, in this case, took place on Jan. 20 in the 3900 block of Sealy and claimed the life of 25-year-old Malik Dunn.
