Police spotted Wright driving a stolen vehicle. Wright fled, leading police on a lengthy car chase during which he repeatedly held a pistol to his head. Wright crashed near his residence and fled on foot with the pistol. Police fired on Wright as he fled into an apartment complex and then fired on him again when he reappeared waving the pistol, killing him. The pistol turned out to be a pellet gun. Wright had attempted "suicide-by-cop" four years prior to this incident.
