Glenn Lewis was shot and killed by Oklahoma City police on February 25, 2015 at the end of a vehicle pursuit and attempted traffic stop.

What happened

On February 25, 2015, Oklahoma City officers attempted to stop a car driven by Glenn Lewis, who continued driving and was pursued through city streets. Police said the route ended at a dead-end street. Two officers got out and alleged that Lewis then drove toward them, leading them to fire at his vehicle. The car traveled another block and hit a parked vehicle. Officers opened the door and discovered Lewis had been wounded; he died from the gunshots. The detailed public narrative of the encounter stems largely from police descriptions of the vehicle's movement. The case demands a distinction between the fact that Lewis was shot during a police pursuit and the allegation that his driving left officers no alternative. Records reviewed here do not settle the exact angles of the shots or what dash-camera footage, if any, showed.
