Dallas TX - Uncooperative Drug Dealing Suspect Fatally Shot By Officer During Arrest

Dallas, TX - Kyle Dail, 30, was identified as the man who was shot and killed by police after he pulled a gun and tossed it during an arrest in Northeast Dallas. Police Chief Eddie Garcia said officers were investigating drug complaints at the LBJ Food Mart. That's when an undercover officer witnessed Dail making hand-to-hand drug sales in the parking lot before leaving in a vehicle. Garcia said officers then followed the vehicle and saw a traffic violation, then initiated a traffic stop, but the vehicle didn't stop. Police then tried to chase the driver with their vehicles and a helicopter, but they eventually lost the suspect. Officers saw the same vehicle back at the convenience store, then saw Dail go inside.
Surveillance video shows officers entering the business and approaching Dail from behind to take him into custody. Dail began to resist arrest and a struggle ensued. Garcia said that after reviewing both store surveillance and body-worn cameras, detectives saw the suspect remove and toss a handgun from his pocket. Garcia said officers could also be heard warning other officers that the suspect was armed as the struggle unfolded.
Dail could be seen transferring his weapon from his right to his left hand, and then it appears he tossed the weapon to another aisle. Garcia said the video shows that after the weapon is tossed, one officer pulled his gun and then fired at Dail. That officer was the only officer who fired his weapon during the incident.
No officers involved were injured.
