Jonathan Price was reportedly killed by police in Texas after trying to intervene during domestic dispute
31-year-old Jonathan Price was shot and killed by a Wolfe City Police officer outside a gas station on Saturday.

Jonathan Price was reportedly killed by Texas police after trying to intervene during a domestic dispute.
His family is demanding justice and police accountability for the man’s death.
Jonathan Price Shooting incident
Price, 31, was fatally shot by a Wolfe City Police officer outside a gas station convenience store on Saturday, authorities said.
Described as a “hometown hero”, “pillar of the community,” and “mentor who worked with children,” many who spoke about Price said they can’t fathom why a police officer would shoot and kill him.
After Price allegedly stepped in to help a woman out of a domestic violence situation, things escalated between Price and her abuser, but had calmed down, according to witnesses by the time police arrived.
Officer arrested
Shaun David Lucas, the Wolfe City police officer allegedly connected to the shooting death of Jonathan Price, was arrested and charged with murder.
The circumstances surrounding Lucas’ decision to use deadly force is now under investigation.
“This is the first step. This man is dangerous and should not be out on bond. The family was relieved to hear of his arrest and are looking forward to his conviction,” Attorney Lee Merritt told CBS 11.
Price’s family said there is video proof that the shooting was a criminal act and they want justice.
“The chief saw the video and told me he wasn’t happy with what he saw,” said Merritt.
Texas Rangers are currently investigating the shooting. They sent Dallas CBS 11 News the following statement Monday night:
“At approximately 8:24 p.m. on Oct. 3, 2020, Wolfe City Police Officer Shaun Lucas responded to a disturbance call at the 100 block of Santa Fe Street for a possible fight in progress. Officer Lucas made contact with a man, later identified as 31-year-old Jonathan Price, who was reportedly involved in the disturbance.
The officer attempted to detain Price, who resisted in a non-threatening posture and began walking away. Officer Lucas deployed his TASER, followed by discharging his service weapon striking Price. EMS was notified and Price was transported to Hunt Regional Hospital, where he later died.
Investigation
The preliminary investigation indicates that the actions of Officer Lucas were not objectionably reasonabl e.
The Texas Rangers have charged Officer Lucas with the offense of Murder and booked him into the Hunt County Jail.
This investigation is being conducted by the Texas Rangers, with the cooperation of the Wolfe City Police Department and the Hunt County District Attorney’s Office.
No additional information is being released at this time.”
Lucas is being held on $1 million bond.
