Officer Thomas Wortham IV and Brian Floyd died during a shootout after an alleged attempt to steal Wortham's new Yamaha motorcycle. Police said Wortham was leaving his parents' house at around 11:30 p.m., when Brian Floyd and Marcus Floyd, 19, approached. Wortham's father, retired police Sgt. Thomas Wortham III, yelled at them and Brian Floyd allegedly shot at him. Wortham IV identified himself and exchanged gunfire with Floyd. Wortham was shot in the abdomen. Wortham III then opened fire. Paris McGee, 20, and Toyious Taylor, 29, who were reportedly in a getaway car, fled, striking Wortham's body and dragging him roughly a quarter-mile. Marcus Floyd, McGee and Taylor were each convicted of murder and sentenced to life.
