How they died
Deadly force
Officers Edward Lasseigne, Andrew Miller, Shawn Werner and Michael Daves responded around 2:40 p.m. to an anonymous call about "male subjects armed with guns behind the Little Caesars Pizza" near the corner of Baldwin and Columbia. 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.
