Police were summoned by residents of an apartment building, where Victor Medina had allegedly threatened to detonate a bomb after being asked to leave. The caller said Medina had what appeared to be a stick of dynamite. Officers convinced Medina, who was displaying an object he said was a bomb, to leave the building. After an hour-long standoff in the parking lot, Medina approached police, ignoring commands to stop. Officer Will Martin shot Medina once with an AR-15 rifle, killing him. The "bomb" turned out to be a road flare with a silver flashlight attached with black tape.
