Mobile County Sheriff’s Office and US Marshals were looking for Kenneth Lee Sykes with an arrest warrant with the intention of arresting him for drug use while on probation for past drug issues. He was apparently afraid to come out of a trailer and police forced him out by firing gas canisters. He tried to flee and police claim that he walked towards them and had a knife. They shot and killed him. He reportedly was mentally ill. Claims by police cannot be verified as US Marshals virtually never provide bodycam video or other evidence.
