Michael C. Melberg

Deadly force

State trooper Jeffrey L. White shot and killed Michael C. Melberg on I-70 after he reportedly charged at the officer with a gun. Motorists called 911 at around 6:45 p.m. to report that a man in a Toyota Camry was waving a gun as he drove on the freeway. White tried to pull Melberg over, but he kept driving for three miles before stopping on the Kingdom City off ramp. According to officials, Melberg got out of his car with a handgun and advanced toward White, who then shot him. Melberg was being sought for questioning in the shooting deaths the day before of his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend at her home in Florida.
