MUNCIE – Police were justified in fatally shooting a man during a chase and gun battle in east central Indiana, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Jonathan Levi Allen, 28, a former Muncie resident who was living in Wichita, Kansas, died March 10, one week after the March 3 shooting, Indiana State Police said. Allen was shot in the head by a Muncie officer and crashed his SUV into a parked vehicle, police said.
The officer who shot Allen and a second officer who also fired upon the suspect “unquestionably and without a doubt did so in self-defense and in the defense of others,” Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman said in a report, The Star Press reported.
