Suspect had been pursued by bounty hunters. At the corner of the incident, SDPD 19-year veteran Sgt. Scott Holslag chased Smith on foot into "a shed next to apartment buildings" on direction of a police helicopter. When he saw Smith reaching into his pockets, the officer fired. No weapon was found on Smith, and it was the second time Holslag killed a suspect.
