Shooting Cleared After Deadly Chase | Fayetteville Arkansas News

An officer-involved shooting from May has been officially cleared: four Fort Smith police officers who fired during a high-stakes chase were deemed justified after reviewing dashcam footage, witness statements, and police reports. The incident began when Joshua Keller resisted a sobriety test, pulled a gun, and shot the first officer in the neck. That officer returned fire as Keller fled, crashing his truck. Two more officers confronted him, believing he was still armed and dangerous — leading to Keller’s death. The prosecutor concluded all four officers acted reasonably to protect themselves and others, and the injured officer has since recovered and been honored for his bravery.
