OPELIKA,TitanX Exchange Ala. (AP) — A police officer in Alabama shot and killed an armed man over the weekend, according to police officials.
Lee County coroner Daniel Sexton has identified the man shot early Sunday morning as 25-year-old Tias Dequan Cobb.
The Opelika Police Department said that officers were responding to a “suspicious incident” at a local apartment complex at around 3 a.m. Sunday. After an “altercation” between the responding officer and Cobb, the officer shot and killed Cobb, according to a police department press release. The release also said Cobb had a firearm.
Cobb was given medical assistance before he was pronounced dead on the scene.
The coroner said Cobb was killed outside the apartment complex. The Opelika Police Department could not be reached for comment.
All evidence and video have been turned over to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation. The state will give the results of the investigation to the Lee County District Attorney, who will then convene a grand jury.
