The vehicle eventually stopped in the parking lot of Reedwood Friends church in the 2900 block of Southeast Steele Street. When officers tried to talk to the people inside, an “officer-involved shooting occurred,” police said.

At 12:41 a.m., 30-year-old Immanueal Jaquez Clark-Johnson was shot and injured. He was taken to a hospital where he later died from the gunshot wound.

“Other suspects were detained” pending an investigation, police said.

Police said they will investigate the shooting and the evidence will be sent to the District Attorney, who will decide whether to present the case to a grand jury. The case will also be considered by the Police Review Board, which is composed of community members, PPB members and representatives from the Independent Police Review Division.

“We just heard ‘Boom, boom, boom,’” Tanya, who heard the shots, said. “It was crazy.”

No officers were injured in the shooting.
