Rouven Loch, 22, of Fairborn, Ohio, died on February 22, 2016, after a standoff with police at a residence on Eastview Drive. Officers suspected Loch of a series of robberies and spent about an hour trying to negotiate his surrender. After tear gas was deployed, Loch exited the home with a pellet gun pointed at officers and was shot; he was later pronounced dead at Miami Valley Hospital.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation reviewed the shooting and concluded Loch was shot after pointing the pellet gun at officers. The Fairborn Police Department completed an internal review. The involved officer, who had 18 years of experience, was placed on leave and received psychological support counseling. No arrests or suspects were identified in connection with Loch’s death, as authorities described the shooting as a justified police action.

Are there additional documents or witness accounts anyone can share about the standoff or the BCI and internal reviews?
