Austin J. Derby, 36, was shot and killed by Seattle police after a high-speed pursuit that began when Washington State Patrol troopers tried to stop him for speeding. The chase into Seattle on July 1, 2014 reportedly reached speeds of 100 miles per hour. Derby was driving a pickup with a female passenger who sustained minor injuries in the crash and was treated at a hospital; she was not considered a suspect.

After the crash Derby ran and hid in a residential shed on Beacon Hill. A Seattle Police K-9 team, assisted by a helicopter using thermal imaging, located him. Officers approached and Derby warned them he had a pistol and then pointed what appeared to be a handgun at them. A six-year veteran officer fired multiple rounds, fatally wounding Derby; the weapon later proved to be a realistic-looking pellet gun. The King County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds. An inquest was ordered in October 2014 to examine the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

If anyone witnessed the chase, the crash, or the events on Beacon Hill that night, does that person have details to share?
