Cary Ball

How they died

Deadly force

Police were reportedly conducting hot-spot policing downtown when they noticed two suspects inside a car. The suspects then drove away from the scene. Police said they saw the same car near the intersection of 9th and Carr. Authorities said the suspects attempted to drive away from the scene, but hit a parked car. Police said the 25-year-old passenger then jumped out of the car and ran. Police alleged Cary Ball turned around and pointed a .45 automatic weapon with an extended clip at them and at that point, the officers fired shots, killing him. Witnesses reported different versions of events, none of which involved Ball pointing a gun at police.
