Dalton Edward Rahman

How they died

Deadly force

Fleeing from sheriffs in a stolen car, Dalton Edward Rahman crashed the other and was seen by deputies to take off running and disappear into the residential neighborhood. The area was cordoned off and a search for Rahman began. When a dog alerted on a side yard, deputies found him in a narrow utility area. When he refused to surrender or reveal himself, a dog was sicced on him. Appearing to concede, the dog was called off, but Rahman took an aggressive posture, and the dog went back in with deputies following. When one of the deputies came within reach, Rahman was able to gain partial control of the deputy's weapon and fired shots as the two of them grappled for control. As the deputy and Rahman fought, another deputy shot and killed Rahman.
