Overview
- Police searching for 31-year-old Damian Strozier on a murder warrant said he fled after an officer fired when he allegedly pointed a gun during an afternoon encounter in the Leland Road and Windy Hill Road area.
- The hours-long search ended in woods behind a Leland Drive apartment, where the Georgia Bureau of Investigation says multiple SWAT officers shot Strozier, who died at the scene.
- Investigators have not said whether they recovered a gun at the final scene or how many officers fired.
- Relatives say Strozier had no gun and was on a recorded phone call with them as they tried to guide him to surrender, and they describe hearing yelling and then gunfire.
- The GBI has opened its standard review of the shooting and the FBI helped with the search, which followed warrants tied to a scooter crash that killed 67-year-old Janet Davis in March.
