The attorney for Jalen Randle's family says the Houston police officer who shot and killed him has a violent record.
Jalen Randle was shot and killed by Houston Police Officer Shane Privette on April 27, 2022, as officers tried to arrest Randle for outstanding warrants, and now that the body cam video of the shooting has been released the family says they want criminal charges filed against the officer.

It’s like a piece of my heart has been taken from me." says Randle’s mother Tiffany Rachal. "He was indicted for Aggravated Assault for using excessive force against another black citizen. Why was he on the force anyway at this time? We are calling for the police department, HPD to terminate Officer Privette immediately." Crump adds."So my thing is, the video proves this was what he was planning. This was on his heart to kill my son.
"I’m devastated. I’m devastated. I’m tired of crying. I'm tired of wondering when are they going to do something to get him off the street. He’s getting paid to murder my child." Rachal says."If that was one of us caught on video doing that how long would it take for them to charge us? But when it’s the police they say oh we’ve got to go through this exhaustive investigation. We don’t want you to devalue us because of the color of our skin.
