Shane Michael Lester

How they died

Deadly force

An officer spotted Shane Michael Lester sitting alone in a pickup truck parked near the closed Lynnhaven North Shopping Center, police said. Lester refused to give the officer his identification, and the officer noticed drug paraphernalia in the front seat. The officer opened the driver's door because it appeared Lester was fidgeting around and doing something in the other. A second officer arrived, opened the truck's passenger door and saw a handgun in the Lester's hand. The first officer tried to disarm Lester, they struggled, and the officer backed away. The second officer shot and killed him.
