Michael Howard

How they died

Deadly force

Police began looking for a man after someone called 911 about a black Nissan driving erratically down the street. Five minutes later, a woman called police to report the same car. The woman stayed on the phone with police as she followed the car, which stopped at the East Jasmine Street home, where the man got out to repair a tire. Police said the man drew the gun as officers approached, and pointed it at them. After they ordered him to drop the gun and he refused, they shot and killed him.
