Broyles had stopped a 2003 Cadillac with two occupants inside shortly before 3 a.m. Brundle, the driver, reportedly fled on foot. Broyles chased after Brundle and tackled him to the ground. Brundle allegedly disarmed Broyles and said he was going to kill him. Savitch arrived and Broyles yelled "He's got my gun. Shoot him." Savitch shot Brundle once, and he died at a hospital.
