Late Thursday night, ISP spotted Justin Compton, 26, in the front yard of a Seeleyville residence.

Compton, wanted on unknown charges, fled into a wooded area just north of Baker Street.

Police said they pursued Compton and a K-9 officer eventually caught up with him.

Moments later, police said Compton allegedly made an aggressive action toward an officer with a knife.

Compton’s alleged actions prompted the officer to fire shots, and he died a short time later.

Compton’s death remains under investigation, ISP officials said.

An autopsy was scheduled for Friday.
