How they died

Deadly force

Police responded to an armed robbery call at a home in Mableton. Officers later spotted their car on I-20 and chased them into Atlanta. The driver lost control and slammed into an abandoned car on the right shoulder of the interstate. Khawann Heard ran onto nearby Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, where he was struck by a van and killed about 5:15 p.m. Another person was arrested, and a third escaped, at least for a time.
