According to police, a deputy was conducting a traffic stop in a parking lot of Hope Gospel Mission. During the stop, it was discovered Mack was wanted on two federal parole and probation warrants. He became confrontational when the deputy tried to take him into custody and was armed with an "electronic device." As the deputy tried to move away from the subject, the suspect continued to be confrontational and threatened the deputy. This prompted the deputy to shoot and kill him.
