Video released on Aug. 1 shows an officer with the Starbuck Police Department and two Pope County deputies responding to a reported domestic dispute on April 15, 2023. The officers spoke with the suspect, eventually informing him that he was under arrest.

The suspect then stood up from the table where he was sitting and began firing shots at the officers. All three officers were struck. Two officers returned fire, striking the suspect.

The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. The officers were treated at a hospital, where Owen later died.

Owen, who was killed on his 44th birthday, was an Iraq war veteran and a 14-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, according to a previous Associated Press report.
