How they died
Deadly force
Officers responded at around 3 a.m. to 911 calls reporting that a man was causing a disturbance and shattering hallway light fixtures. Darius Tarver allegedly held a frying pan and a meat cleaver as he advanced on officers down a stairwell of the apartment building. Police said an officer used a stun gun on Tarver, but it did not stop him. Tarver reportedly did not follow officers' demands to stop and drop the cookware, and an officer shot and killed him.
