The 41-year-old had allegedly stabbed his father with a knife before fleeing the scene.
Officers and paramedics arrived at the home and began treating the victim, who had suffered a cut to his neck, while also searching for the offender, who had escaped on foot.
Other agencies sent officers to assist in securing the scene and searching for the 41-year-old man. A short time later, the man was found and officers attempted to apprehend him, but he refused to cooperate.
The statement said the man charged at officers with weapons in both hands, and at least one of the officers fired shots. The suspect did not have a gun, police said. One of the weapons was a knife, and the other they believe was a bat.
The man was given medical assistance, but he died from his injuries at the scene.
Mykenzie Castle couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw all this from her bedroom window.
“It’s one thing to watch it on TV, and it's another thing to watch it right in front of you. Definitely not what I expected to see last night,” she said.
Castle first heard the commotion, just before 11 p.m. Sunday.
“The cops were trying to talk down this guy. They gave him multiple chances. There wasn’t much more than swearing and he just seemed really angry. Most of what I heard was 'Put the knife down,'" she said.
Castle didn’t know the suspect involved, but she did notice how quickly the situation turned from officers trying to talk him down, to him being shot, then first responders attempting to save his life.
“We’ve had neighbors argue before — I mean, you can hear everything in this neighborhood, so I thought it was just another little argument,” she said.
