How they died

Deadly force

An officer shot and killed Sean Brown when he allegedly reached for something. At about 10:20 p.m. a motorist flagged down a squad car and said his Ford F150 was carjacked. A description of the alleged gunman was broadcast over police radio. About 10 minutes later, officers in another car saw a Ford F150 and called for backup, police said. Brown, the truck's driver, fled on foot and was tackled twice during a chase. Brown allegedly reached for something, so an officer shot him.
