The sheriff’s office said that the incident began at around 12:30 p.m. near Norwood Avenue when deputies attempted a traffic stop.

The male suspect did not stop and led deputies on a pursuit along the interstate where the suspect struck a motorcyclist that was not involved in the pursuit.

Following the crash, the suspect exited the vehicle with a knife and was shot by law enforcement.

The motorcyclist was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. The suspect was also transported to a hospital but later died of his injuries.
