OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Fairmount PD attempted a traffic stop on Kyeiree Myers for reasons they would
not disclose. Kyeiree allegedly stopped and then walked away from the car and
the approaching officer. Another officer on foot began chasing him, stopped him
and escalated a fight with him. Kyeiree ran from this officer, jumped in the patrol
car and drove away. Police fired shots at him. Kyeiree stopped a while later once
he was out of range of the attacking officers and collapsed onto the roadway
because he had been shot when fleeing from the attacking officer. As he fell, two
cars including another patrol vehicle in a row ran over him and killed him.
