On June 26 when officers were dispatched to Crestridge Road about a "domestic situation" between 28-year-old Titus Kopp, his grandmother and her daughter.

The grandmother reported to dispatch that Kopp had "broken into her home, was ransacking her home, and was threatening to kill [his grandmother], her daughter and himself," according to the Guilford County District Attorney's office.

In the bodycam footage, a responding officer finds the grandmother sitting on the curb outside her residence in a state of panic. She explains the situation to the officer, and they start moving up the driveway toward the home.

As the officer is moving up the driveway, Kopp appears from the front entrance of the home holding a knife. Kopp then states, "I have no intention of living," before starting down the front steps toward the officer.

As Kopp moves toward him, the officer yells, "Put down the knife," before firing his gun twice and hitting Kopp. The officer then goes to Kopp's side to render aid.

Kopp was transported to a local hospital but died of his injuries. A silver kitchen knife was found in the driveway after the incident.

The officer's use of force was justified.
