Deadly force
An off-duty officer saw a shooting in which a man was shot in the leg. Two men took off in a car and the off-duty officer chased them. Police say Smith and another suspect, 18-year old Marcus Powell, got out of their car. Powell was arrested, but Smith fled on foot, and the off-duty officer followed him. There was a confrontation, and the off-duty officer shot and killed Smith.
