Diante Yarber sat in his car at the parking lot when police officers arrived at the store according to Vox via a press release. Officers were called in after getting reports of a “suspicious vehicle” and tried to give a traffic stop.
During the stop, it’s reported that Yarber “reversed the vehicle and struck one of the patrol cars.” The release details that Yarber struck a second car when officers opened fire.
Video taken by a bystander shows cops opening fire on Yarber’s car as shoppers in the parking lot ran for cover. Witnesses recall hearing up to 30 shots go off during the incident.
Yarber was not the only one in the car. He was pronounced dead at the scene while a woman in the car was injured and a man was unharmed.
