When deputies arrived, they learned the homeowner had shot at the alleged burglar, Dewayne Morgan, who was still nearby. Morgan ran from Deputy Logan Joines. The deputy used his Taser on Morgan, but it reportedly had no effect on him. The foot pursuit continued across an interstate freeway, where they reportedly fought, and Joines shot and killed Morgan while Morgan allegedly was choking Joines.
