Dewboy Lister, a 55-year-old African American man, died after a violent encounter with a police officer in Corpus Christi, Texas. The sequence began the evening of October 19, 2017, when Officer Jose Hasette stopped Lister for a traffic violation. Lister fled in his vehicle, was briefly pursued, then stopped and ran on foot. A struggle between Lister and Officer Hasette followed; a single shot struck Lister in the torso. He was taken to a hospital and died early the next morning on October 20, 2017.

Officer Hasette was placed on administrative leave and the case went to a grand jury, which decided not to indict. The grand jury decision provoked outrage from Lister’s family and parts of the community, who raised concerns about possible local influence and asked for an independent Texas Rangers investigation. The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice also reviewed the incident. Corpus Christi Police Department body camera footage showing the traffic stop, chase, and struggle was released, but the actual shooting was not captured because the officer’s camera and radio became dislodged during the altercation. Lister’s family and civil rights attorney Kevin Murray held peaceful protests and continued to press for further review.

Does anyone have information about the moments immediately before or during the struggle that could help clarify what happened?
