How they died

Deadly force

An off-duty local Houston officer got a knock on the door after midnight and a plea for help from his neighbors. Nash was involved in a domestic dispute at a house nearby, wielding a knife that he would not drop after the officer's orders to do so. Nash was shot to death. Reporting describes the neighbors as shocked but supportive of the officer's decision.
