The Fort Wayne Police Department says it has been notified that the man injured during an officer-involved shooting on Oct. 12 in the 6800 block of Chadwick Drive has died from his injuries.
The Allen County Coroner's Office will release the man's identity and determine the cause and manner of death, according to the department's Oct. 16 update.
Police have said officers were dispatched to the home on the city's southeast side on Oct. 12 for a report of a person experiencing a mental health crisis and behaving violently. According to the department's earlier releases, the man refused to speak with officers, grabbed a large knife from the kitchen and continued toward officers after a Taser was deployed without effect, and two officers fired their weapons. He was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and the officers who fired were placed on administrative leave under department protocol.
The incident remains under investigation by the Fort Wayne Police Department Homicide Unit, the Indiana State Police, the Allen County Coroner's Office and the Allen County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.
