Police say they received a call from Tyrease Carlyle's mother who reported that her son was trying to steal her car. When police arrived, Carlyle fought with them, and allegedly tried to take two officers' guns before he was shot and killed. His sister, Monica Carlyle, said her brother had mental issues and wondered why police could not have handled the matter another way.
