How they died
Deadly force
Romain was identified to police by the victim of a knife assault in a nearby pizza restaurant. When approached by two officers, Romain threatened them with a 12-inch knife, making several slashing motions. One officer shot him in the stomach. He lost too much blood from the stomach wound to be revived at hospital.
