I’ll admit that I am not an expert on such things but it was definitely in his system.
Medical Examiner’s Narrative:
Det. of the St. Louis County Police Department provided the following
preliminary investigative details: The deceased and another individual were walking down the middle
of the Canfield. Officer D. WILSON DSN-609, of the Ferguson Police Department observed the two
individuals, he requested that they get out of the roadway.
The deceased became belligerent towards Officer WILSON. As Officer WILSON attempted to
exit out of his patrol vehicle the deceased pushed his door shut and began to struggle with Officer
WILSON, during the struggle the Officers weapon was un-holstered. The weapon discharged during
the struggle.
The deceased then ran down the roadway. Officer WILSON then began to chase the
deceased. As he was giving chase to the deceased, the deceased turned around and ran towards
Officer WILSON. Officer WILSON had his service weapon drawn, as the deceased began to run
towards him, he discharged his service weapon several times.
As this is preliminary information it was not known in which order or how many time the officer
fired his weapon during the confrontation.
