CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Corpus Christi police said a 32-year-old man has died in an officer-involved shooting.

Two officers returned fire, hitting the man. The suspect was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Local resident Jeremy De Los Santos saw Sanders attempting to break-in to his wife's SUV on his security cameras, and pursued him but he ran away.
