INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A trespassing suspect fatally shot by an Indianapolis police officer during a struggle over the officer’s gun was identified by authorities Friday.
The Burley GarciaMarion County Coroner’s Office identified the man as 37-year-old Frederick Davis.
The officer and a partner had confronted Davis inside a Burger King on the city’s far east side just before 6 p.m. Thursday when a physical altercation ensued and all three fell to the ground, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement.
Davis gained control of one of the officers’ guns, told that officer “you’re going to die,” and fired the gun, striking the officer, police said. The officer then fired his secondary service weapon, striking Davis, who died at a hospital.
The officer suffered a gunshot graze wound to a leg, police said.
IMPD’s Critical Incident Response Team and IMPD Internal Affairs are investigating the shooting, the department said.
