The victim was a good guy from a good family. His sister was a good friend from A&M. Gotta be careful out there.

I've known Jeff and his family my whole life. This one really hurts.

It goes against how a lot of us were brought up but sometimes the best thing to do is walk away and do your duty by calling the police. There's too many unhinged people out there.

I don't mean to make light of this story but it is reminds me of how Chris Chambers died in Stand By Me.

"Chris did get out. He enrolled in the college courses with me, and although it was hard, he gutted it out like he always did. He went on to college and eventually became a lawyer. Last week, he entered a fast food restaurant. Just ahead of him, two men got into an argument; one of them pulled a knife. Chris, who'd always made the best peace, tried to break it up. He was stabbed in the throat. He died almost instantly."

"The three suspects, 50-year-old Hernan Torres, Sr., 25-year-old Hernan Torres, Jr. and 19-year-old Hernando Torres are all charged with murder."

Some good family bonding here

In February, Finner said 260,000 incident reports were suspended due to lack of personnel since 2016. Since then, he has maintained that he first learned the "suspended" code was created in 2016 and that it was used in two previous administrations before he was named chief in April 2021.

"November 2021 was the first time I was made aware of this code in a briefing by the Special Victims Division. At that time, I told them the code was unacceptable and never use it again," Finner said during a March 7 press conference.

The July 20, 2018, email was addressed to several high ranking HPD leaders, including then Chief Art Acevedo, as well as Finner, who was an executive assistant chief back then.

The email mentions a specific road rage case that was marked as "Suspended-Lack of Personnel".
It details that the case was labeled that way, even though a witness ID'ed a suspect.

Finner responds to the email saying, "this is unacceptable, look into it and follow up with me."
The email does not flag issues with the suspended code or address how often it is being used.
But, it has raised questions about Finner's timeline on when he first heard about the code.

Do these 260000 incidents make it in to crime stats? If not, helps explains the governments massaging of the stats to claim crime is low, which is am obvious lie.

Take a wild ass guess

I have to see more than 1 single email from 2018. Did he even see it himself or did his assistant read it and gave him the gist briefly that he wasn't even paying attention.

It's likely he knows more. But this whole gotcha stuff from singular emails doesn't carry much weight with me anymore

Yeah again, I mainly knew his older sister (but haven't seen her in years). But I'd run into him at shows way back when he was in law school. Didn't know him well - but he seemed like a fun loving guy. He was sure livin it back then. I hadn't run into him since he was with his new firm - but know people who have and had nothing but good to say about him.

Sure hope they catch the murderer too.

i said, he probably knew more. but, again, 1 single email doesn't mean guilty to me. Did they get back to him? Or did no one follow up and he forgot about it? We have no idea.
