A business off Waters Ridge (later identified as Rheem Manufaturing - 1875 Waters Ridge Dr, Lewisville, TX) called police dispatch, stating that there was a homeless individual sleeping on their property. They had already criminally trespassed the subject and needed police assistance. Three officers were dispatched to the location. Officer Stillwell, Officer Guy, and trainee Officer St Valentine. When Officers arrived, the suspect took off running. Officer Stilwell gave chase after the suspect, who ran across the street, near a "river" like body of water. The suspect entered into the body of water, attempted to elude Officer Stilwell. The suspect made it half way across the body of water before he stopped moving horizontally or laterally and began treading water. Officer Stilwell attempted to verbally instruct the suspect back to shore, but the suspect was laboriously trying to tread water and keep his head. Officer Stilwell realized that the suspect struggling to stay above water and assumed that the suspect was drowning. Officer Stilwell removed his duty belt to go into the water, after the suspect. Officer Stilwell was able to reach the suspect, but the suspect began dragging him underwater, drowning Officer Stilwell down. Officer Stilwell disengaged the suspect and returned to the shore.
