BAYTOWN, Texas - A crowd gathered for hours in Baytown Thursday afternoon calling for justice for a black woman, who was killed by a Baytown police officer two years ago. From New York City all the way to Baytown, TX we came to say that black women matter, says Activist Tamika Mallory. Supporters came from across the country calling for the conviction of Baytown Police Officer Juan Delacruz and to remember the woman he shot and killed Pamela Turner. This incident that took place could have been de-escalated, says Minister Dr. Abdul Haleem Muhammad.
Civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump joined the family of Pamela Turner, a Black woman killed by a Texas police officer in 2019 at a rally on Thursday, calling for justice in her killing on the second anniversary of her death.
Turner, 44, was killed in May 2019 in the parking lot of her apartment complex after a confrontation with Baytown police officer Juan Delacruz, who also lived at the complex. Delacruz shot Turner after the two struggled over his stun gun.
Turner’s family has said she was suffering a mental health crisis at the time of the shooting. Turner was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in 2005. A bystander captured the confrontation on video.

Alligator Stops Traffic On Houston Bridge
I have often wondered why something like this doesn t happen more often in Acadiana, and maybe it does, and I just don t know about it.
Imagine, you are rolling along down Ambassador Caffery when you get the bridge over the Vermilion River only to find that there is an alligator blocking the roadway.
Well, that same scenario played out in Houston Wednesday on the Fred Hartman Bridge according to ABC News 13 who shared the whole episode on their Twitter page.
If you click here, you can see the report by Don Armstrong as the alligator blocked the right lane of traffic. He says that officers from several law enforcement agencies responded to the scene including officers from the Baytown Police Department, the LaPorte Police Department, and Precinct 8 officers from Houston Police.
