Deputies received a call about a person waving around a gun. The first deputy to respond found Dogan armed on Tappan Drive. After making contact with Dogan, the deputy asked for backup and another deputy responded, police said. When the second deputy arrived, Dogan began walking toward the deputy; the deputy told the man to get to the ground, and he did not. The second deputy shot Dogan in the neck, and he died two weeks later.
