Taurus Santonio Brooks

How they died

Suicide

Officers responded to an apartment complex, formerly called The Park on West Broad, on a woman's complaint that Brooks was bothering her and that he was armed, according to police. Brooks left the apartment and got into a car driven by a woman who drove him there. The driver refused to stop after the officers activated their blue lights and sirens, but the woman abruptly stopped near Omega Bar when she realized Brooks had a gun. She jumped out of the car just before Brooks shot himself in the head and was immediately killed.
