Officers saw them driving a few blocks away and tried to stop them. The car, driven by Steele, eventually lost control and ran into a house. Police arrested the passenger at the crash site. Steele fled on foot and entered a house down the street. Someone inside confronted Steele and he left, running through a nearby alley. Officers stopped Steele at Third and Tecumseh, where he allegedly pointed a handgun at them. One of the officers shot Steele, who was pronounced dead at a hospital.
