How they died
Deadly force
Police approached the subject and a friend walking on the street who they suspected of being involved in a robbery. Officers claimed that the subject pointed a gun at them and fled and they opened fire, hitting him four times. He died later in the hospital. Police produced a BB gun that they claim Woodland pointed at them but his family denies he owned one.
