How they died
Deadly force
Fayetteville Police stopped Tillman for driving without headlights, according to police. Tillman stepped out of the other, but dove back inside the car and attempted to flee from police. A struggle then began between the officers and Tillman, who was able to drive the other while the officers were partially inside. Police said both officers attempted to deploy their tasers but were unsuccessful. One of the officers was able to get out of the other, but another was still inside while Tillman continued driving. Officer Brandon Jones fired off multiple shots and struck Tillman in the chest, abdomen, and leg. He died on May 9.
