Assistant Sheriff Charles Hank met with members of the media today to discuss additional details of the August 25, 2018 officer involved shooting that occurred at 900 Doolittle Avenue. At approximately 4:59 a.m. LVMPD patrol officers were dispatched to an apartment complex located in the 900 block of Doolittle Avenue to investigate reports of a shooting. Residents of the apartment indicated an adult male family member, later identified as 18-year-old Roosevelt Brown, fired a handgun inside of the apartment and then went outside and fired again. There were several family members in the home, but no injuries were reported.
Arriving officers saw Brown running away from the area, but lost sight of him and set up a perimeter in the area. Approximately one hour into the investigation, a citizen believed they saw Brown hiding in a dumpster and a K9 also alerted on that same dumpster area. As officers were challenging the dumpster area, Brown appeared from behind a wall southwest of the dumpster area armed with a handgun. For over one hour, Brown moved through residential areas, armed with the handgun and refusing to obey repeated commands to drop the gun. There were several citizens in the area, and crisis negotiators and SWAT were requested to assist with the situation.
Eventually Brown arrived back at 900 Doolittle Avenue where officers continued to give commands to drop the weapon. At about 7:20 a.m., Brown raised the firearm and pointed it directly at several officers who were across the street. Officer Collingwood fired one round from his rifle, striking Brown. Brown was transported to University Medical Center Trauma where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.
