On 11/16/2021, Waterloo Police Department officers pursued Brent Lee Boggess after observing driving behavior they identified as dangerous and stopped his vehicle near 200 Madison St. Officers surrounded the vehicle and attempted to remove him. During the confrontation the vehicle made contact with a patrol car and Officer Ken Schaaf fired his weapon into the vehicle, striking Boggess, who died at the scene.
