Livingston, who friends say was unarmed, was pronounced dead at the scene. Livingston's roommate Clayton Carroll said that police knocked on the door at 3:30 a.m. and were looking for someone who no longer lives there.

WNCN reported that When Deputies asked Livingston if they could search the trailer, Livingston said 'not without a search warrant,' according to Carroll.

Carroll says that Livingston then closed the door.

'The cop kicked in the door, got on top of him, started slinging him around beat him…' Carroll said.

Carroll claims that sheriffs started spraying Livingston with mace before using a Taser on him.

Carroll said that Livingston was not trying to fight back but was trying to get the Taser out of the officer's hand.

Mourning: Bristol Edge said she put a blanket on Livingston after he was shot. 'That’s the blanket I kept putting on him and telling him to breathe until he was gone because I knew he wasn’t breathing anymore,' she said

'He (Livingston) barely had the Taser in his hand but he had it where it was constantly going off and the officer I guess that spoke to him rolled over there, says he got the Taser and shot him in this position,' Carroll said.

Livingston died on his porch after being shot by police several times. Carroll said that Livingston was shot six times. Though, Livingston's friend Bristol Edge who was at the home said he was shot four times.

Livingston, who has three children, was described by friends as being a kind man, a great carpenter and a hard worker.

Friends say he recently built the porch outside his home so that he and his friends could all have a good time outside.

'That’s the blanket I kept putting on him and telling him to breathe until he was gone because I knew he wasn’t breathing anymore,' said Bristol Edge as she pointed to a blanket on a blood stained porch.

The deputies involved who have not been names were placed on administrative leave while the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation looks into the case further.
