Officers entered the apartment to find Sneed sitting on a bed in the bedroom, the woman lying next to him, Garivey said. Officers said “show your hands,” Garivey said, and at that moment he raised his hand, showing a pistol, then pointed the pistol in the direction of the woman, Garivey said.

“Fearing for her safety, one of the officers fired his weapon multiple times, striking the suspect,” Garivey said.

Quanell X, after speaking to police, addressed the people and television cameras waiting outside.
"The time will come that we have to riot, but it's not tonight," he said. "I'm asking everybody now to go home."
