Description
DeSoto police released new details and a 40-second video on Dec. 16, 2024, showing a man approaching officers armed with knives, ignoring commands to drop the weapons before an officer shot him.
Police say the man, Arthur Lee Armstrong Jr., 26, called 911 and said he had weapons and wanted to harm police.
Officers went to the 1000 block of Hunters Creek Drive after a second caller reportedly told police that Armstrong had mental issues, was there with multiple others, had a knife and wouldn’t put it down, according to DeSoto Police Chief Joseph Costa.
