Police received reports of a man walking down Central Ave with two broken liquor bottles. Four officers arrived and one tried to wrestle Brandon Haywood to the ground, but he escaped. Haywood allegedly then ignored orders to stop and continued walking toward police aggressively. Officer Brad Shrader fired twice, hitting Haywood with both rounds and killing him. Although a grand jury refused to indict the officers involved, Haywood's family was awarded a large settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Lake Station Police.
