Edmond Police release new details surrounding deadly shooting of naked suspect
EDMOND, Okla. - Edmond Police held a press conference on the events leading up to a 17-year-old suspect shot multiple times, then dying from his injuries at the hospital.
According to police, a woman near Lariat Circle called 911 saying two females ran up to her doorstep in a panic- one of them claiming she had been assaulted by her boyfriend.
A second call came in reporting a naked male running down the street and into people's yards.
When police arrived on the scene, the suspect entered a home on Gray Fox where police say a fight began between two officers and the suspect.
KFOR has confirmed the identity of the 17-year old as Isaiah Lewis, a high school senior.
One officer fired his taser several times then several rounds of gunfire.
“Our use of force training is initially hands on and then deploy a taser. And we know both of those happened and then firing the handgun is protocol if the first two are not successful,” said Jenny Wagnon with Edmond Police Department.
Police say a witness told them drugs were thrown over the fence .
Police tell News 4 they have spoken with the suspect's family and girlfriend.
Officers are set to meet with their legal representation today as the investigation begins into what happened inside the home.
