How they died
Deadly force
The Lee County Sheriff's Office was notified of an individual armed with a shotgun on Lee Road 206 around 1:06 a.m. The Lee County Sheriff's Office checked the registration of a nearby other and contacted the registered owner who confirmed ownership, advised police that her son was driving the other, and advised 911 dispatchers that her son, Jeff Melvin, suffered from mental health issues. Officials said efforts continued to get the man to put the gun down for over an hour and a half until he pointed the gun directly at officers, at which time he was shot and killed.
