Antonio Nash

Deadly force

It was about 11:15 Monday night when police say the 36-year-old off duty deputy and a female friend, 23, were jogging near the Grand Basin in Forest Park. Police reported three men wearing hoodies with bandanas covering their mouths and noses approached, pulled at least one handgun, and threatened the lives of their would-be victims. That's when the deputy pulled his service weapon and opened fire. One of the suspects, 18-year-old Antonio Nash, was hit three times in the lower abdomen. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
