Police tried to speak to a man who became agitated and ran, and the officers chased him as he fled to the east. After running into the street and through a patch of shrubbery, the man faced off with the officers and began fighting with them. During the struggle, one officer reportedly felt the suspect grab his service pistol and yank it off his belt, still in its holster. Officer Devion Johnson shot and killed the man.
