- Anthony Santi, 41, was shot and killed on October 6 outside a gas station in Independence, Missouri
- He was off duty at the time, but stepped in to assist the gas station cashier after Ja'Von L. Taylor, 23, became aggressive
- Santi and Taylor began fighting, and the conflict continued outside, with the two men brawling and rolling around on the ground
- Taylor handed his gun to his girlfriend: a convicted felon, charged with armed robbery in 2019, he should not have been in possession of a firearm
- Taylor's girlfriend screamed at Santi to release him, and when Santi put Taylor in a headlock she yelled: 'You're killing him!'
- She opened fire, and Santi died at the scene: on Tuesday prosecutors in Jackson County said she would not be charged
