Aaron Clifford Fike

How they died

Deadly force

An Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper saw a man walking along the roadway. When he stopped to investigate, the man, who was carrying a shotgun, fired a single round at the trooper's other before running into a nearby field. Later a deputy spotted the man walking in a field toward a residence. The man entered his home after refusing to follow commands of police. As officers pulled up in front of the home, the man came back outside, refused to obey demands and pointed his gun at officers who shot and killed him.
