A police gang officer was driving an unmarked car around 8:40 p.m. when he reportedly noticed another car driving recklessly on I-15 near Cheyenne Avenue. The detective pursued the car and called for marked patrol cruisers to perform a traffic stop. The suspect vehicle got off the freeway at Apex Road and headed west, and the officer used his emergency equipment to perform a vehicle stop. The vehicle pulled to the side of the road, and the driver got out and produced a firearm, and Officer Timothy Stovall shot and killed him.
