Coleman Lamar Sample

How they died

Suicide

At around 10:23 p.m., a trooper reported that they were attempting to stop a 2019 Lexus sedan for reckless driving by speed. The driver fled and left the interstate, drove into the parking lot of Banbury Lake Village Apartments, and allegedly struck a parked other at around 10:26 p.m. The driver then fled the crashed other on foot, but only for a short distance before state police troopers say they caught up with him. As the troopers attempted to take the man into custody, he reportedly pulled out a gun and shot multiple times, with one of the bullets fatally striking himself.
