Before Redo could be taken into custody he reportedly pulled out a firearm and shot himself.
Redo was pronounced deceased at the scene by medics.
Detectives are conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding this case and CMPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau are reportedly conducting a separate investigation to ensure the officers’ actions were consistent with the CMPD’s policies and procedures.
