Upon their arrival, at approximately 8:20 p.m., officers confronted a man allegedly attempting to break into an apartment, according to the Dallas Police Department.

The situation escalated when the suspect presented a weapon after officers issued verbal commands. As a result, officers discharged their firearms, causing the suspect's fatality, the department detailed in their report.
