SUMMARY: DPS Trooper Apolon Gomez faces scrutiny in a wrongful death lawsuit following the fatal shooting of Luis Navarro after a high-speed chase. Despite being recorded during the incident, Gomez refused to answer numerous questions, citing his Fifth Amendment right multiple times. The shooting, which occurred last April, has raised questions about Navarro’s armament, as Gomez allegedly shot him while he was unarmed. Additionally, Gomez previously faced a 10-day suspension for an unauthorized chase into Mexico. The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing, with the Attorney General’s office representing Gomez in the lawsuit, declining to comment further.
