HOUSTON – The Harris County District Attorney’s Office says it is reviewing every case involving former Houston police officer Ashley Gonzalez.
Gonzalez was terminated by the department last week after an Instagram video surfaced appearing to show her using racist slurs, as KPRC 2 News previously reported.

In the video, a woman sitting in her car can be heard using racial slurs and making offensive remarks targeting Black people. She also expresses hostility toward people of color and makes comments referencing slavery, racial discrimination, and stereotypes.
Gonzalez was identified as the speaker in the video.
Officials have released a new statement speaking out against Gonzalez’s conduct.
“Racism is abhorrent; the fact we have to lead the statement with this is disgraceful,” the district attorney’s office said in a statement. “The Harris County District Attorney’s Office Conviction Integrity Chief has already begun the thorough, analytical process of reviewing every case involving former Houston police officer Ashley Gonzalez. We take seriously our ethical obligation to notify defense attorneys regarding her discipline effecting open cases.”
