Kyle A. Elrod

How they died

Deadly force

Deputies stopped a Honda with three males inside, including a juvenile in the front passenger seat. An OKC officer in another cruiser joined the deputies. In the backseat of the Honda, Kyle A. Elrod, an excon with warrants that could send him back to prison, was armed with a handgun. Elrod told the other two people in the Honda he wasn't going back to prison. When the officers approached their other, Elrod began pointing the gun in their direction. All three officers shot and killed Elrod. The other two people were uninjured.
