Bagley’s wife told officers her husband was drunk and had marijuana in the back of the apartment. She specifically told them there was no domestic violence involved, KTBS' sources said.

Officers then talked to Bagley, who would not come outside of the apartment or let them in. Bagley said he needed to put his dogs up, but instead went into a bedroom then through a balcony door and jumped to the ground from the second-floor apartment.

Officers gave chase and caught up with Bagley in a lighted breezeway of another apartment building. There was no standoff. Bagley was shot within seconds, sources told KTBS.

The encounter was captured on body cam video. It also recorded Tyler crying afterwards, pleading with Bagley to live, sources said.
