Detective Coble’s body camera footage shows officers encountering 37-year-old Delama Casimir in a rear parking lot. He was ordered to stop, but instead ran through the lot and jumped over a wooden fence. Detective Coble also jumped over the fence, at that point with a Taser in his hand, and ordered Casimir to stop. During the chase, Detective Coble transitioned to his pistol just before Casimir pointed a .380 semi-automatic pistol over his shoulder in Coble’s direction and fired. Detective Coble was seriously wounded during the exchange of gunfire. Casimir went down in heavy brush. Dete
