Dashcam footage shows Houston woman killed by police cruiser while crossing street with children

A Houston woman, Desire Pool, was killed by a police cruiser while crossing the street with her children on September 19. Dashcam and body camera footage of the incident was released by the Houston Police Department, causing distress to her family. The video shows Pool being struck by the vehicle, driven by Officer Shelby Kennedy, as her children screamed. The officers were transporting a suspect at the time. Pool was taken to the hospital but was later pronounced dead. Pool's family expressed anger over the release of the footage, stating they had not seen it before it went public. They criticized the timing of the release, which occurred just before Thanksgiving, as insensitive.
