Officers responded to a call involving a possible kidnapping. Rodgers appeared to have been beating his girlfriend, who was locked in a bedroom for a day and a half. Rodgerslet her go onto the porch to get fresh air, where she managed to send a text message to a family member in North Carolina, who then called police. Police arrived on scene, and Rodgers fled. The chase led to a back yard three blocks away, where he confronted a detective in a back yard with some type of long metal item. The officer shot and killed him.
