Wenzel spent ten years in prison on drug-related charges and was well known to local police. Police attempted to pull him over for warrants, but Wenzel eluded them. He was later spotted by another patrol car, and a high-speed chase ensued. Wenzel, who was unarmed, crashed his car. He then approached the first officer at the scene, who shot and killed Wenzel because he felt threatened.
