About 5 a.m., officers were called to an apartment complex to investigate multiple "shots fired" calls. As the officers approached the complex, they saw a vehicle matching the description of the one in the shots-fired calls and attempted to pull it over. The driver of the vehicle refused to stop and instead drove into the parking lot of the Wind Tree Apartments. As he entered the parking lot, he crashed into a parked vehicle inside the complex, police said. When officers approached him, he allegedly tried running away before pulling out a weapon. Louis Jose Burrus was shot and killed.
