On the evening of April 15, 2016, 26-year-old Storm Allen Smith died after a confrontation with police on the 4200 block of East Jackson Street in Muncie, Indiana. An officer had been dispatched after a report of a threat; the nature of that threat was not publicly detailed. When the officer arrived, an altercation led to a foot pursuit and a physical struggle. During the struggle Smith reportedly gained control of the officer’s Taser and aimed it at him, and the officer fatally shot Smith.

The Indiana State Police investigated the officer-involved shooting and turned the findings over to the Delaware County Prosecutor’s Office. The prosecutor reviewed the evidence and concluded the officer’s actions were justified, citing self-defense and conformity with training, and declined to file criminal charges. No arrests were made in connection with Smith’s death.

Are there details about the incident or the events leading up to it that anyone in Muncie can add?
