Deputies responded to a trespassing call at a vacant home two times within a four-hour period; once around between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Friday, and again at around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. When they arrived to the house on the second call, deputies noticed cars speeding away from the home. The deputies started following the group of cars away from the house. About a mile away from the home, one of the cars got in a crash. People inside of the vehicle got out of the crashed car, and a deputy started chasing one of them on foot. That person had allegedly pulled a weapon when he was shot and killed by the pursuing deputy.
