A county detective made an unlawful stop and search on Beaugris, who had just come from a laundromat and carried only a pink bag full of clean clothes. The two men fought, grappling for about five minutes for control of the detective's gun. Onlookers cheered Beaugris on to "kill him." Beaugris was eventually shot and killed. The incident caused community meetings, vigils, and a prosecutor's review.
