Two officers responded about 6 a.m., where a woman told them her boyfriend had beaten her, police said. The woman said she was going to leave the home but needed to get her phone and shoes. The boyfriend began fighting one of the officers, and the other one joined in. At one point, the man grabbed an officer from behind and put him in a chokehold, and police shot and killed him.
