As the officer pulled to the curb in the 3800 block of North 25th Street and began to get out of his truck, Irons and Terrell drove alongside and someone in the car shot at the officer. Authorities said the officer returned fire and Terrell Beasley, 28, of the 4000 block of Cleveland Avenue, was killed during the shootout. Beasley's body was found a few hours later in a burning vehicle in the 700 block of Thrush Avenue in the Baden neighborhood. It's unclear whether Terrell was armed or the one who shot the officer.
