The shooting happened Tuesday after a short vehicle chase. Police said the chase began when Boggess was spotted driving recklessly and tried to hit an officer’s patrol car. The chase ensued, and several other officers converged to stop his car.
Boggess refused to get out of the car and instead rammed a patrol car, police said. Schaaf then fatally shot him.
Schaaf is on leave pending completion of the investigation, per department policy.
