Danquirs overturned items in the Burger King and even forced his way to the back of the Burger King.​
​911 calls were made and Officer Kerl responded to the scene. Officer Kerl commanded Danquirs to drop his gun, when Danquirs was in the process of dropping the gun, Officer Kerl shot and killed Danquirs.​
​However, prosecutors could not prove to a unanimous jury beyond a reasonable doubt that Officer Wende Kerl’s belief that she faced an imminent threat of death of great bodily harm was unreasonable. Therefore, Officer Kerl will not face any charges in the killing of Danquirs.
