Stukes drew a shotgun on a gay male that he'd been bullying. A detective, who happened to be inside a nearby fish market, saw this, went outside, drew his pistol and ordered Stukes to drop the gun. Stukes ran from the detective, tripped while running and dropped his weapon. He was shot a second after dropping the weapon and getting back on his feet, according to the Chief State's Attorney's Office
