How they died

Deadly force

When Erdman called his mother from a convenience store for a ride, she had to remind him that she couldn't drive her car because he'd kicked out her windshield. By the time she could dispatch another family member to retrieve him, he was in the midst of a crowd in a nearby alley, shot to death by police after assaulting a 33-year-old female officer there.
