OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Officers responded to a welfare check at the Spanish Trails Inn around 9:45 p.m. on May 10, 2021, after a man was reportedly refusing to let a woman leave. Upon arrival, officers determined Kalon J. Horton might have been under the influence of an unknown substance and needed medical attention. He was taken into custody without a warrant and transferred to a medical center for a mental evaluation. Horton was released by the hospital overnight. Early the next morning, officers were called to a shooting in progress at an apartment where a woman and two children were present. Officers arrived and announced themselves, requesting the man to come outside. After receiving no response, they entered the apartment, where they shot and killed Horton.
