On December 13, 2018, DeKalb County Police Officer Edgar Isidro Flores, 24, was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop just east of Atlanta. The stop occurred about 5:00 p.m. on Candler Road near Interstate 20.

Responding officers and a K-9 unit tracked the suspect to a hiding place behind a nearby business. The suspect fired again, striking the police dog; officers returned fire and killed the suspect at the scene. Both Officer Flores and the suspect were taken to an Atlanta hospital, where they were pronounced dead. The K-9 was critically injured but later reported in stable condition after veterinary care. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called in to investigate.

If anyone witnessed the traffic stop, the foot pursuit, or the moments near the business on Candler Road that evening, did you see anything that could help explain what happened?
