About 3:15 p.m., deputies reportedly stopped Dijon Kizzee, because he was on a bicycle in violation of other codes. Kizzee dropped the bike and ran, then allegedly punched one of the deputies in the face when they caught up with him. He allegedly dropped some items in his hands, including a black semi-automatic handgun, at which time deputies shot and killed him. He was shot 16 times. Security video shows Kizzee struggling with one deputy and then attempting to move away as both deputies repeatedly shoot at him -- even after he falls to the ground. Police later claimed Kizzee had "made a motion" for the gun.
