Alerted by at least one 911 call, a sheriff's deputy went to look for the driver, who ran south along 30th Street West beside a housing tract. Near Newgrove Avenue, the deputy spotted the man and stopped. The deputy and the man got into a fight, and the man tried to hit the deputy with a large rock, Hartshorne said. The fight moved 150 feet or so into the field bordering the tract where the deputy shot the man. Two other deputies then drove up and joined in the struggle. Charles F.
