Police arrived and tried to force her to take her belongings and tried to arrest her for loitering. Police shot her with a taser three times. She picked up what police describe a “homemade weapon” consisting of a pair of scissors on a rope and swung it at police, breaking a patrol car window. Police state she wore "ten layers of clothing" and they could not tase her and therefore shot and killed her. Her only weapon was the described scissors on a rope. Police gave lengthy media interviews and detailed explanations but failed to provide BWC or dashcam footage collaborating the narrative.

When officers approached the vehicle, they found the 13-year-old child of the homicide victim deceased inside from causes yet to be determined. A 5-month-old infant, who was also present during the flight, was handed off to a resident at a nearby home by Grunke before he continued fleeing.
