A man is dead, and an officer is injured after a shooting involving the Shelby Police Department Saturday evening.
Around 11 p.m., Shelby police officers went to an Arby's on Mansfield Avenue to serve a warrant out of the Shelby Municipal Court for Tyler Jacobs for failure to appear in court, police said.
In newly released body camera footage, Sergeant Noah Kocher and Officer Dominic Ewing enter the Arby’s, asking a worker to locate Jacobs.
Kocher then instructs Ewing to go to the back of the restaurant in case Jacobs tries to escape through the back door.
The video then shows Jacbos approaching Kocher, and about 20 seconds after making contact, the body camera footage shows Jacobs with a knife in hand, stabbing Kocher in the neck.
Kocher then deploys his firearm, shooting Jacobs multiple times.
The video then shows Ewing running back into the restaurant to administer aid to Kocher and Jacobs.
Both were transported to a nearby hospital, where Jacobs succumbed to his wounds, police said. Kocher is in stable condition.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation has been requested to investigate the shooting, police said.
Arby's released the following statement on the incident:
"We are aware of the incident that occurred at our franchised location in Shelby, OH. The franchisee is cooperating fully with the police in their investigation. Given that this is an active investigation, we defer any further comment to the local police department."
