After hearing gunshots fired, Stephens asked if he could talk to his girlfriend and that's when he was informed she was dead.
The woman's boyfriend, Victor Stephens, 54, challenged the police on their handling of the incident, saying that the use of lethal force was excessive and that the situation could have been resolved through non lethal means. Stephens said:
Police were called at approximately 11:45 pm by Stephens to escort his girlfriend from his property. When officers arrived, Stephens was in a separate hallway in the house away from where the incident occurred and she was pronounced dead at the scene. There were 5 other people at the house."Me and her, we had an argument. Glass was being broke, so I called the police to escort her out,"
"They said 'freeze' and the next thing I know I heard (gunshots)," Stephens said.
