Marcus Landrum

Deadly force

Police shot and killed Marcus Landrum, who was allegedly armed and confrontational after a foot chase. Police said officers responded to a reported burglary at about 10 p.m. involving three males on bicycles and saw a group "matching the description." Officers reportedly caught two boys, ages 12 and 16, but Landrum fled into the LeClaire Courts public housing complex, where an "officer discharged his weapon when he was confronted by an armed offender," according to a police news release. The two boys with Landrum were not arrested because the residence had not actually been burglarized, police said. Landrum's death upset residents, and more officers were called to the scene, police said.
