Internals Affair Investigation Launched into Houston Police’s Delayed Response to the Shooting of George Floyd’s 4 Year Old Niece
This scary situation started on January 1st around 3am when shots were fired into a home on Yellowstone Boulevard in Houston Texas. Amidst the hail of gunfire George Floyd’s 4 year old niece Arianna Delane was shot while she was sleeping. The bullet when through her torso cracking her ribs, and puncturing her lung.
Her father Derrick Delane said in a statement that he realized Arianna was shot when she ran to him saying “Daddy I’ve been hit”, and he saw she was bleeding. Despite the fact that police were called shortly after the shooting, the Houston Police Department did not respond Arianna Delane shooting until 7 am, almost 4 hours after it happened.
Due to their lackdasical response to the grave emergency, Arianna Delane’s mother drove her to the hospital herself, where she underwent successful surgery and is now stable.

Those questions will be answered now that Houston Police Chief Troy Finner has opened an Internal Affairs investigation into why Houston Police took 4 hours to respond to the Arianna Delane shooting. Luckily she survived their lack of urgency.

Was the George Floyd Niece Arianna Delane Shooting a Hate Crime?
