According to Flores, Garretson and two other officers got into a scuffle with the suspect, identified as 26-year-old Jamison Cavazos, as they tried to apprehend him.
Officials said Cavazos then shot Garretson during the attempted arrest and fled the scene, where he later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as officers closed in on his second location following a lengthy negotiation attempt. Authorities recovered two pistols in his possession, Flores said.
