LEAGUE CITY, Texas – An 18-year-old man was killed in an officer-involved shooting after an attempted carjacking in League City on Tuesday, according to authorities.

At about 5:20 p.m., police said, they responded to an attempted carjacking at the CVS in the 1200 block of League City Parkway. Authorities said the suspect was armed with a pipe.

After demanding a woman's keys to her vehicle, police said Alvaro Herrera, of Dickinson, struck her in the head with the pipe, according to authorities.

Herrera left the area on foot and a detailed description was given to authorities.

The investigation led police to a nearby neighborhood, Tuscan Lakes, where a person matching Herrera's description was located by a League City officer, authorities said.

As the officer attempted to detain Herrera in the 1600 block of Laslina Lane, Herrera attacked and attempted to disarm the officer, according to authorities.
