.
Upon arrival, officers knocked on the door multiple times but received no response. They forcibly entered the home and encountered 32-year-old Digno "DJ" Ramon Yorro Jr., who was armed with a knife. Officers issued multiple commands for Yorro to drop the weapon, which he ignored. Non-lethal measures, including beanbag shotgun rounds and a Taser, were deployed but proved ineffective. Yorro then advanced towards the officers, still holding the knife, at which point Corporal Joseph Burger discharged his firearm, striking Yorro multiple times. Yorro was pronounced dead at the scene.
.
During a subsequent search of the residence, officers discovered the body of Yorro's mother in the garage; she had suffered multiple stab wounds. The Maryland Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division conducted a review of the incident. In September 2022, the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office declined to file charges against the involved officers, determining that their actions were justified under the circumstances.

A Culver Police Department officer located Bush's vehicle near State Road 17 and Washington Street around 2:07 p.m. and initiated a pursuit when Bush failed to stop. The chase, involving high speeds exceeding 100 mph, continued through Marshall County for approximately 13.5 miles.

The pursuit concluded when officers boxed in Bush's vehicle at the First National Bank of Monterey's parking lot on North Lake Shore Drive.
