Terry Amons

Male, Black

Date of the incident: 1/12/2018

Police were called to the Nation's Giant Hamburgers restaurant, police said. Someone allegedly reported that he had seen what seemed to be a drug deal between two people in the parking lot. One person had just driven away, and another person was in a parked car when officers arrived. As the two officers approached the car, they saw Terry Amons in the driver's seat and a handgun in the center console, police said. Initially, he placed his hands on the steering wheel, but then he dropped his right arm in an alleged attempt to retrieve the handgun from the center console. One of the officers shot and killed him.
