Kobie Davis, 25, was killed by an off-duty police officer. A video captured the scene. The shooting took place outside Wheelhouse bar as a crowd was gathered, watching a fight. A group of men were chasing after another in the street, and tackled a man to the ground. An off-duty officer appears to try to break up the fight, pushing one man away and pointing at the men to leave. The footage pans the crowd, from left to right, and at one point, someone is shouting what sounds like, "Drop it, drop it." The video briefly focuses on another skirmish off to the right, then two shots are heard, and the camera pans back to where the officer stood. According to city police, the 25-year-old man pulled a gun. The officer told investigators he ordered the man to drop his gun. Davis died at a hospital. Another man, 26, was apparently injured when a bullet grazed him.
