According to police, 14-year-old Jkary Charles Craft pulled a sawed-off shotgun out of his pants and ran when officers arrived. Werner and Daves chased Craft on foot while Miller and Lasseigne followed him in their Chevrolet Tahoe. Miller used the SUV to box Craft in by a fence on West Ypsilanti Street, hitting Craft in the process. Lasseigne shot Craft when he allegedly pointed the gun at him. Craft died. The gun was found on the other side of the fence.
