Moronic 'Sovereign Citizen' Pulled Over By Cops Gets Himself Shot And Killed In Houston

A man was shot and killed while exchanging gunfire with Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies following a traffic stop in north Houston Sunday.

Deputies conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle with expired tags and a broken taillight on FM 1960. Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the man refused to exit his vehicle and identified himself as a sovereign citizen.

Deputies engaged the man in conversation for over an hour in an attempt to remove him from the vehicle, Gonzalez said.

Refusing to comply with their demands, he drove away from the scene and engaged in a brief pursuit with deputies before his vehicle was brought to a stop on the corner of FM 1960 and Ella Boulevard.

After stepping out of his vehicle, the man, armed with a pistol, began shooting at deputies. They exchanged gunfire and the man was shot dead. No deputies were injured during the exchange, Gonzalez said.

A woman bystander was struck during the gunfire exchange and was taken to the hospital with serious conditions. Gonzalez said the man was believed to have two open felony warrants.

A sovereign citizen is a person who opposes taxation and questions the legitimacy of government, according to the Oxford Languages Dictionary definition.

“A reminder that sovereign defiance is capable of turning violent,” Gonzalez said in a post to X. “Some individuals believe they are not subject to government or law enforcement authority. Our deputies were doing their job, keeping our community safe.”
