Junior Prosper

The incident began when a bus driver saw a Yellow Taxi colliding with a street sign near the on-ramp to I-95 in Miami. The driver stopped to assist and approached the taxi, which was still running with its lights on. The bus driver saw Mr. Prosper sitting in the driver's seat, slumped toward the passenger side of the car and breathing heavily. The bus driver called 911 and informed the operator of the accident. While he was speaking with the 911 operator, Mr Prosper moved across the front seat of the car, exited through the passenger door, and began walking toward I-95. A tow truck driver also joined the bus driver to see if he could help. Both said Mr. Prosper returned and seemed to acting weird or "on something." The officer arriving found Mr. Prospect, tried to redirect him away from traffic and a substantial struggle ensued - Mr. Prosper refused to respond to the officers commands to get down on the ground, was tased twice and reportedly lunged for the officer's weapon. He was fatally shot twice (as Mr. Prosper was biting down on the officer's finger, which the hospital reported were superficial wounds) and died of his wounds. Mr. Prosper was a Yellow Taxi driver.
