Nolen attempted a traffic stop, but Lykes failed to pull over, Rich said. A chase followed, and Lykes drove onto a dead-end street in a neighborhood, according to the GBI. He stopped and got out of his Kia Forte, and the altercation between Lykes and Nolen occurred when Lykes tried to get back into his car, Rich said.

Nolen fired one shot, which hit Lykes in the upper torso, the GBI said. Troopers and officers gave aid until Lykes was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
