How they died

Deadly force

Lee, 32, who was wanted on warrants in Elkhart and St. Joseph counties, was killed after he raised a gun toward Elkhart police officers on Tuesday, Sept. 23, in the Washington Gardens apartment complex, according to an Indiana State Police account of the incident. The investigation into Lee's death and the officers' actions is ongoing, but witness accounts and evidence at the scene do not match the official sequence of events provided by the state police, which was asked to handle the case.
