Tactical officers were conducting the raid given comments attributed to the suspect from a prior investigation, SIRT added.
After failing to find the suspect at a home in the city’s northwest, police went to the home on Haughton Road. After they made entry, a confrontation took place between the man and officers, according to SIRT.
Three of them shot at the man, SIRT said. Officers immediately provided first-aid to the man, but at 11:14 p.m., EMS declared him dead. SIRT was called at 11:17 p.m.

“SIRT’s investigation will examine the conduct of police during this incident, including the circumstances surrounding the man’s death,” it said in part.
“No further information will be released at this time. A final report will be issued to the public within 90 days of the investigation ending.”
