Investigators said Alejandro admitted he believed he was in an online relationship with the girl. During a police interview, he told officers he arranged to meet the 13-year-old near her school and took her to a hotel, where he had sex with her.

After concluding the investigation, police charged Alejandro with sexual assault of a child, a first-degree felony, and obtained a warrant for his arrest. Officers tracked Alejandro to an area of southeast Houston and attempted a traffic stop when he fled the scene, leading to a short chase into a local business parking lot.
Alejandro then exited his vehicle with a gun, which he "raised at officers," resulting in two Hitchcock police officers firing an unknown amount of shots at him.
Houston Fire Department personnel responding to the scene attempted emergency medical aid on Alejandro and transported him to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he died of his injuries.
No officers were injured in the incident.
The Houston Police Department and the Harris County District Attorney's Office have now taken over the investigation.
