An officer stopped Stallings in the area of Craven Terrace. Stallings ran away from police and started shooting at two officers. Police fired back and killed Stallings. One of the officers, Thalmann, also died later from his injuries. "I see him coming up and see him putting the bike down. I'm seeing the police car pull up and asking him to 'come here'. He was like, 'sir why are you stopping me' and I guess it was because of the bike because he did not have a light, but he did have a light on the bike."
