On April 10th, 2024, at approximately 11:13 a.m., Lancing Police Department detectives were conducting follow-up on a violent crime that occurred earlier in the week. Detectives requested assistance from uniformed officers in patrol cars to conduct a traffic stop on the suspect. The officers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle as it entered a parking lot behind an apartment complex in the 2000 block of Holmes Road. After several minutes of speaking with the suspect outside of the vehicle, officers attempted to place him in custody. At this point, the suspect attempted to flee on foot and a struggle ensued. During the struggle, the suspect attempted to but failed to disarm one patrol officer. The suspect then disarmed both detectives during the struggle. The suspect discharged one of the detectives firearm, striking one officer and grazing another. At this point, one officer returned gunfire, striking the suspect in the lower left leg. Officers immediately performed life-saving measures on the suspect before being transported to a local hospital. >> Okay, go ahead and stand up. We're going to put your [Music] fine. I'm down.
