Baytown Police Identify Former Detective
in Flock Camera Investigation
The Baytown Police Department released new information yesterday, Thurs., Nov.12th, identifying former Detective Ken Pascual as the employee involved in an investigation into allegations of misuse of the department's Flock license plate reader camera system.
According to police, Pascual resigned from the department while the investigation was underway.
The department announced that it has completed its investigation and submitted its findings to the Harris County District Attorney's Public Integrity Division for consideration of possible criminal charges.
Although the case was presented to prosecutors on August 31, 2026, it remains under review. The District Attorney's Office will determine whether criminal charges are warranted.
Police emphasized that they have fulfilled their investigative responsibilities and will continue cooperating with prosecutors. Additional information may be released as the legal review progresses.
No criminal charges were announced in Thursday's update.
The department reiterated its commitment to transparency and accountability while acknowledging that certain details cannot be released during the ongoing prosecutorial review.

Baytown Woman Charged with Manslaughter in Fatal Cinnamon Lane Shooting
Baytown Police have arrested 28-year-old Angelica Chavez of Baytown following a fatal shooting Wednesday afternoon, November 11th, in the 5100 block of Cinnamon Lane.
Officers responded around 4:50 p.m. and discovered 35-year-old Jaron Collins of Baytown suffering from a gunshot wound. Despite efforts to render aid, Collins was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the preliminary investigation, Chavez and Collins were neighbors who became involved in a verbal altercation while standing in the street. Police allege that Chavez produced a firearm and shot Collins before returning to her residence.
The department's SWAT and Hostage Negotiation teams responded. Chavez eventually exited the home and was taken into custody without incident.
Chavez has been charged with manslaughter. Detectives continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Baytown Police Chief John Stringer expressed condolences to those affected and emphasized the department's commitment to thoroughly investigating violent incidents.
All individuals charged with a crime are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
