About 3 a.m., police were called to a report of a man who had attacked a security guard at an apartment complex at 314 N. Jim Miller Road. Police searched for the unidentified suspect, finding him roughly a half-mile away. Officers ordered him to drop the machete-type weapon, police said, but he failed to comply. One of the officers shocked him with his Taser, and he died.
