After two hours of negotiation, Whited tried to back his truck into responding officers. SMPD Officer John Curnutt, and Hays County Detective Mark Cumberland and Sergeants David Burns and Mike Davenport shot at Whited 16 times, striking him four times and killing him. Texas Ranger Tommy Ratliff investigated. The shooting was no-billed. Whited's family sued the officers and local government.
