they say would not drop a knife after repeated commands, community members are reflecting on the life of Steven Kissack , 35, who they regularly spoke to and saw with his dog Juno.
Perkins organized a vigil for Kissack at her church for Tuesday night, saying they planned to have a love seat with a microphone where anyone can come, sit down, and share their thoughts about Kissack.After grabbing a hot dog from Triangle Bar, she said she would make her way to Kissack and Juno, recalling that he was quiet and polite to her when she would go to feed Juno.
Troopers said after some conversation, Kissack produced a knife and then did not comply with officer requests to drop the weapon. Multiple community members recorded videos — which have since been widely shared — of the fatal shooting near the intersection of Front Street and North Franklin Street.
