It’s unclear if the unidentified man was armed, variable that concerns Austin’s NAACP chapter.
“I don’t see how a young man, who is naked and not hurting anybody, winds up dead,” NAACP President Nelson Linder told the Austin television station.
It's also unclear if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the incident.
“This person was acting aggressively toward these witnesses and running around the neighborhood,” Manly added.

The initial encounter was captured on a police dash cam, Manley said, but it failed to capture the moment the suspect allegedly charged the department’s 10-year veteran and the shooting that followed.
“Ultimately, you can hear shots being fired,” Manley said.
A witness heard the officer fire two shots without ever using his stun gun. The suspect died at a local hospital.
