How they died
Deadly force
Douglas County Sheriff Chris Degase shot and killed David Leroy Phillips during a struggle. At about 8:30 a.m., Degase responded to a call from a homeowner who was worried about a man and a woman working on a disabled car in front of his home. Degase recognized the woman as having a warrant for her arrest and tried to take her into custody, but she reportedly resisted. During an ensuing struggle, Degase alleged that Phillips threatened him and moved toward him with an unspecified weapon, so Degase shot him.
