Pinkney allegedly robbed a tanning salon with an Airsoft pistol and raped an employee. It is unclear how the alarm was set off. When Pinkney spotted officers at the front door, he ran out of the back door into a parking lot and, as seen on raw footage, turned when he apparently heard South Daytona police Officer Michael Charla and Daytona Beach Police officer Tara Cantrell behind him at the door shout something. "Several shots were fired." He died shortly afterward at Halifax Hospital.
