How they died
Deadly force
Detandel Devon Pickens was shot and killed while allegedly holding knives to a woman's neck. The shooting capped a series of events involving Pickens, police said. Att 12:30 a.m., police responded to a call and ordered Pickens to leave a residence, but Pickens returned and reportedly stabbed a man who tried to stop Pickens from assaulting a woman. Police went back to the residence at around 2 a.m. to find Pickens holding the knives. Police said Pickens refused to drop the knives, and wasn't stopped when police used a Taser on him. Police then shot Pickens, who died at the scene.
