How they died

Deadly force

Police shot and killed an unnamed man who allegedly resisted arrest and tried to flee an undercover drug buy. At about 8:15 p.m., police said a detective was conducting the buy in a strip mall parking lot with officers from the Major Case Assistance Team nearby. According to police, the officer had completed the transaction and identified himself as an officer when the man resisted arrest and fled eastbound on 47th with the officer still inside the other. The chase ended a few blocks away after police vehicles rammed the man's car. Police would not confirm whether the man was armed, who fired first, whether there were shots fired within the other or who shot the officer in the hand.
