The family of a Houston man fatally shot by police called him “a talented gospel recording artist on the rise,” moments before Police Chief Art Acevedo on Monday held a press conference to break down video of the deadly struggle.
Adrian Medearis, 48, most recently directed the gospel choir at Evangelist Temple Church of God In Christ in South Acres. He was also a former director for the Prairie View A&M Baptist Student Movement gospel choir and founder of God’s Anointed People, a contemporary gospel group.
Medearis was shot and killed around 1:30 a.m. last Friday during a struggle with an officer, only identified as J. Ramos, who was trying to arrest him on a DWI charge in the 11700 block of the North Freeway, police said. Acevedo said Medearis was clocked driving 97 mph down the highway. He failed field sobriety tests and resisted being placed in handcuffs, the chief said. He was shot when he grabbed Ramos’ Taser and pointed it at the officer, Acevedo said.
The Evangelist Temple said its congregation is mourning the loss of their “beloved choir director, Brother Adrian Medearis, who Sunday after Sunday ushered in the Holy Spirit through praise and worship,” according to an Instagram post.
In the Bible, Jesus Christ said that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was the one unforgivable sin. This looks like blasphemy to me. Egads!
