Black Female, Sahlah Ridgeway, 32, was shot by an officer in front of Kimton Place Apartments in Syracuse, New York.
Two uniformed officers responded to Kimton Place Apartments around 8:30 p.m. after a 911 caller reported drugs were being sold on the building's third floor. When a group of people near the back of the building saw the officer, Ridgeway ran toward the front of the building while holding a shotgun. She was confronted by the officer stationed near the front of the building, he said.The officer repeatedly ordered Ridgeway to drop her weapon. When she allegedly refused, the officer shot her multiple times.
There was no evidence Ridgeway was involved in the reported drug activity.
