OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On May 6, 2021, at approximately 3:54 a.m., officers from the Casper Police Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle. As officers approached, the driver exited the vehicle, and the passenger moved into the driver's seat and allegedly attempted to flee. One officer contacted the driver, while the other officer tried to stop the fleeing vehicle. The vehicle entered I-25, heading into oncoming traffic lanes. The officer, still inside the vehicle with the driver, continued to order the driver to stop. At this point, the officer shot and killed the driver, reportedly stopping the vehicle along the side of the Interstate.
