Officer Nathan Lyday, 24, was killed in the line of duty on May 28, 2020, in Ogden, Utah. The incident began after a woman called 911 saying her husband threatened to kill her; the call disconnected and could not be re-established, prompting officers to respond to a home on the 300 block of Jackson Avenue. Officers encountered 53-year-old John Benedict Coleman on the front porch; he retreated into the house and began firing a rifle through the door and screen door as officers approached. Lyday was struck in the head while his back was turned and died instantly. An Adult Probation and Parole agent was also wounded but survived.

Other officers returned fire and, using ballistic shields, carried Lyday to medical personnel; he was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. SWAT teams entered the home about 40 minutes later and found Coleman dead of a gunshot wound to the head sustained during the shootout. Several children inside the residence were found safe. Lyday had served with the Ogden Police Department 15 months, was a native of Ogden, a second-generation law enforcement officer, and was nearing his fifth wedding anniversary. Does anyone have information about Lyday’s final call for service or recollections of that neighborhood on May 28, 2020?
