The Virginia State Police is investigating a fatal deputy-involved shooting that occurred in Buckingham County.

At 12:55 p.m. Saturday, state police responded to the Faulknier Country Store in the 13300 block of South Constitution Street near Scottsville for a report of a man yelling and attacking two people inside the store. According to police, before the trooper arrived, the male, later identified as Dyzhawn L. Perkins, 19, of Buckingham, fled the store and broke into a nearby residence, where he assaulted an elderly couple.

Shortly after 1 p.m. Saturday, the Buckingham County Sheriff’s Office was called to a residence in the 800 block of Penlan Road in Arvonia for a combative male subject.

When two deputies arrived, they said Perkins jumped through a plate-glass window and attacked one of the approaching deputies. The deputy was knocked to the ground. Perkins, now on top of the deputy, continued to fight the deputy and the deputies ultimately fired at Perkins.

Perkins died at the scene. His remains were transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond.
