Ronald Fitzgerald Young

How they died

Deadly force

Young was shot and killed by an officer, just west of the Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers restaurant. Police say the officer got out of his car to question a suspicious man wearing dark clothing. The officer asked Young to remove his hands from his pockets several times. Young reportedly complied twice, but the third time he refused. Then Young allegedly started struggling and tried to take the officer's weapon before the officer was able to get away and fired one shot.
