Leslie Sapp, 47, of Knoxville, Pittsburgh, was fatally shot on January 6, 2015, during an attempt by the U.S. Marshals Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force to serve an arrest warrant at his Redlyn Street home. Officers say Sapp confronted them while holding an item that appeared to be a firearm; it was later determined to be an air gun that resembled a real weapon. The encounter escalated quickly and officers fired a total of seven shots from two different weapons. A deputy from the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Office was among the officers who shot Sapp.

Authorities charged Sapp with rape and statutory sexual assault before the warrant service. The district attorney later concluded the use of force was justified based on officers’ statements that they believed Sapp presented an imminent threat. The shooting occurred amid an ongoing review of several police-involved shootings in the area, a context that had heightened community tensions.

Are there details about the entry, the warrant service, or the post-shooting review that anyone with knowledge can share?
