How they died

Deadly force

An Oak Ridge officer tried to stop Isaiah Ramirez, who fled, and the officer chased him. That chase reportedly ended at the Anderson County General Sessions Court parking lot. The officer blocked the exit from the parking lot and got out of his car with gun drawn. He ordered Ramirez to stop but Ramirez instead drove in the general direction of the officer, who shot Ramirez 3 times through the windshield. Ramirez's other struck the officer in the leg then hit a parked bus before coming to a stop. Ramirez died in the hospital and the officer was cleared of any wrongdoing.
