Investigation Report
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said that after picking up his daughter from daycare, Deontray drove to her girlfriend’s work, a Walmart on FM 1960, to get her phone number.

Ultimately, he was seen near Greens Road and the North Freeway and led law enforcement on a pursuit, investigators said. Family members told officers that during the police chase, Deontray was physically abusing Zevaya.

The chase eventually ended near a church on Stuebner Airline Road near FM 1960. Deontray refused to get out of the car so police had to use a diversion device to pull him and his unconscious daughter out of him. Life Flight was called to the scene and rushed Zevaya to a hospital where she died. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is conducting an internal investigation to determine if all of his agency’s policies and procedures were followed. The investigation will include a thorough review of the timeline, camera footage, dispatch communications, and radio traffic,” the department said. HCSO said it contacted Zevaya’s mother nearly a week ago to investigate Deontray for an alleged terrorist threat. An investigation was conducted and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office determined that there was insufficient evidence and no charges were filed.
