Attorney for slain couple accuses Houston officials of not being transparent on botched Harding Street drug raid

Relatives of a woman killed in a botched police raid in January accused Houston city officials in a court filing this week of slow-walking the legal process in order to avoid a deeper investigation and to stymie the family’s efforts to sue.

The move came months after Mike Doyle, an attorney for the family of Rhogena Nicholas, asked a local court for permission to gather information and testimony from police in order to consider the possibility of a civil lawsuit.

“It’s become increasingly apparent that the city is interested in doing everything they can to suppress any investigation instead of offering the transparency they promised the family and the public at the beginning,” Doyle said. “It’s pretty clear that it’s all aimed at not letting anything come out to the family or the public.”
