Officers arrived and observed that individual outside of the residence in a vacant lot armed with a pistol and attempted to give the individual commands. The individual was acting erratic, not obeying commands, and at one point put the firearm to his head. During the encounter, an officer discharged their weapon towards the individual. Detectives spoke to the suspect's aunt, who stated that she was one of the individuals who called police on the subject, and learned that the suspect lived at 4808 1/2 Wayne St. with his grandmother, and two juveniles (ages 11 and 12). On this day, the suspect was acting erratic and became enraged after the grandmother asked him for help trying to work the TV. An altercation ensued, and the suspect began threatening family Custodial Death Report :: Page 6 of 7 --- PAGE BREAK --- members with a machete. The suspect then produced a pistol, and the aunt and the two juveniles went into the back bedroom of the residence. The suspect then jumped out of his bedroom window. The suspect then reentered the residence, and began forcing his way into the bedroom, and broke the bedroom door down in the process. Police were called, and upon arrival, they observed the individual outside of the residence armed with a pistol.
