Dominique Mulkey,
26, was fatally shot after he al- legedly pointed a gun at two Tampa Police officers. The of- ficers were approaching him in reference to an armed rob- bery at the Dollar General Store minutes before the shooting.

Both officers fired their service revolvers after Mulkey refused to comply with their demands. He was

He further said that an in- dependent investigation was also conducted by the Florida Department of Law Enforce- ment (FDLE).
