A surveillance video later aired by KTRK that was leaked by an employee of a storage lot adjacent to the location of the beating after a short police chase.
On June 13, 2012, having just come off of probation the preceding April, Chad Holley was again arrested, this time by the Harris County Sheriff's Office, along with three others as they tried to evade police. The four were seen running out of a northwest Harris County home with items and driving off. A witness reported the break-in and gave 911 a description and the license plate number to the vehicle. Officers responding to the burglary-in-progress call pulled the vehicle over, taking all four into custody. Quanell X claims was that Chad was "off his medications for mental illness and is a special education student" and does not comprehend the consequences. On Dec 12, 2016 Chad Holley was charged with capital murder. The charges stem from the shooting death of David Trejo-Gonzalez, 42, during a robbery back in September 2016.

Disciplinary actions
After an investigation, 12 officers were disciplined, 7 were fired, and 4 were charged. All appealed the decisions. Officer Andrew Blomberg, the first of four officers to go on trial, has been acquitted of charges of "Official Oppression"
New oversight
Mayor Parker says she'll be creating a new 20 member, independent police oversight board. There will also be a separate public safety advisory committee. The Office of Inspector General will act as confidential ombudsman for citizen complaints. The mayor said she will make an executive order, but the Houston Police Officer's Union says that step shouldn't be necessary as it would create an additional bureaucracy.
Civilians documenting police
Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland has said there has been an increase of people recording or taking pictures of police while making stops and is concerned that an intensifying anti-police sentiment in the community could increase negative interactions with residents.
