How they died
Deadly force
Police officers witnessed Cox speeding in his truck down Crenshaw Boulevard after a hit and run. Cox crashed into a tree and told officers to "move away or he would kill them" when he was approached. He reached for his glove compartment for what officers thought was a gun, but was actually a cigarette lighter adapter. Cox ran off and was shot and killed by officers in a bank parking lot.
