How they died
Less-than-lethal force
About 8:40 p.m., police in Alexandria started to chase a other whose occupants they believed were involved in shooting at several buildings in Old Town. The pursuit entered the District and ended when the other crashed into several other vehicles in the northbound lanes of the Anacostia Freeway overpass at Malcolm X Avenue. The driver ran from the other and jumped over a Jersey barrier, falling 23 feet to Malcolm X Avenue below. Three passengers were arrested. The man was confronted by U.S. Park Police officers and allegedly became combative when they tried to arrest him. One Park Police officer used a stun gun on the man. Anthony Louis was conscious and speaking until tasered and died a short time later.
