Abayomi Afolabi

How they died

Suicide

Police report that they went to Afolabi's home after his ex-wife reported a domestic disturbance at her home, and saw him pulling his van into his driveway. They initially reported that he rammed their van, and that he "showed a handgun and they fired one shot striking the suspect in the head, killing him". They later reported that Afolabi shot himself in the head. A neighbor witness said "I observed the officer telling the guy to stop he was backing up real slow in his driveway and the one officer just opened fire on him."
