After exiting the vehicle and raising one arm in the air, Cure was tased, prompting him to swing at the officer.

The two wrestled and Cure began to overpower the officer. The officer then shot Cure in his side, killing him.

Cure’s family said he had dreams of going to college and spent a lot of his time mentoring youth since his release from prison.

Cure was wrongly convicted of an armed robbery in 2003. He wasn’t released until 2020. Family members believe the officer’s aggressive behavior trigged him.
