Tom Dudley were dispatched to a shooting in the 100 block of Bent Tree, with the dispatcher providing details that the subject just fired a gun and that a male subject was standing in the middle of the roadway in his underwear shooting. The dispatcher advised they had received multiple calls about this, advising that the subject had a handgun and tried to shoot at the 911 caller, and the male was stopping other vehicles from going down the roadway. Prior to the deputies’ arrival, the subject fired a shot at Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- civilian Courtney Wiggins and pointed his weapon at civilian Stephen Martin. Multiple deputies and officers responded to the scene and on their arrival, located the male subject approximately 100 feet in front of a marked KCSO unit. As deputies gave commands to the subject, he bent over and picked up items in his left and right hand and began walking towards the deputies. Deputies continued to give commands for the subject to show them his hands and stop walking towards them. At one point, the subject complied and turned away from the deputies, at which time they observed a black, semiautomatic handgun in the subject’s left hand. Deputies gave commands to drop the gun and get on the ground, however the subject ignored these commands and turned back towards the deputies and then appeared to be looking past the vehicle lights, looking for something or someone. Deputies continued to give commands to drop the gun, which the subject ignored, and then the subject began walking in the direction of the deputies. As the subject got closer to the deputies, the subject raised the gun from his side to his hip, pointing it in the direction of the deputies. Believing the subject was about to discharge his weapon at them, deputies fired their weapons at the subject until he fell to the ground and the threat ended. Immediate medical aid was given to the subject, however the subject died at the scene. Custodial Death Report :: Page 7 of 7
