Scott was pulled over by a North Charleston police officer Michael Slager. He pulled into the Advance Auto Parts store's parking lot. At that point, witnesses say the suspect tried to get out of his car which led to an argument. The man was shocked with a Taser and then tried to run away. Video evidence suggests Slager shot him in the back and then attempted to plant evidence to support his story that Scott took his Taser, and Slager feared for his life.
