A deputy was sent to a home after Cody Hodges' ex-girlfriend called 911 to say she received a text from him that said whoever showed up was going to die or he would, police said. When the deputy arrived he found Hodges sitting in a vehicle in the front yard. The deputy approached Hodges, and he got out of the vehicle allegedly waving a gun and pointed it at the deputy, who reportedly ordered Hodges to put down the gun and shot and killed Hodges.
