Eva Tucker was shot in the head with off-duty ESLPD officer Cantrell Patterson's .380-caliber pistol. How the incident unfolded was disputed. According to Cahokia police, Patterson called 911 at about 11 p.m. and said that Tucker had shot herself with his gun in her bedroom. Tucker's children told police they heard the couple arguing before the shot. Patterson said he hadn't argued with Tucker. He said he'd entered the bedroom and saw Tucker with his gun in her mouth. Patterson claimed he used both hands to grab Tucker's right hand when the pistol went off. A coroner's jury decided Tucker's death was accidental. Patterson later fired the "warning shot" in June 2001 while police chased Orlando Armstrong, who was then found shot in a yard; his wound was said to be self-inflicted.

The officers determined John VanVorphous was driving and pursued in separate cars. After leaving city limits, Weaver ordered Burmeister to return to town. Burmeister instead waited at an intersection where the chase was likely to cross. Weaver and Pfankuch chased the Blazer south on Highway 577.

The Blazer's engine continued to rev as Burmeister rolled from his car onto the pavement. Bartell tried to smash the Blazer's passenger window with his flashlight and Anderson hit it with his collapsible baton. Burmeister stood up at the edge of his cruiser's front bumper.

Steven Brown reportedly collapsed and died after fighting with several officers following a foot chase. Police were called to Brown's home on Ashwell Drive, but no one was there. Brown was then seen running down the street, and police received a complaint of someone entering a home around Mackenzie and Heege. Officers caught Brown and said that he thrashed around as they tried to take him into custody. A police spokesman said Brown displayed "unusual strength," requiring multiple officers to subdue him, but that they didn't hit him with batons or other objects. Brown's mother said she went to the morgue to view her son's body. "His face was all beat up with knots and bruises all over," she said. "It looked like somebody beat the hell out of him. "The police said he ran into a fence, twice, and fell down." Dr. Phillip Burch, who performed the autopsy, said he couldn't determine a cause of death until completion of toxicology tests. "There were numerous signs of blunt trauma—contusions, lacerations, abrasions—about the head and face, but they were too superficial to cause his death," Burch said. According to his mother, Brown had probably taken LSD, which caused his irrational behavior.

Joseph Howard Jr. was killed when his vehicle was struck by an allegedly stolen truck fleeing police. The pursuit began when two officers saw a Dodge Ram stopped at a red light at 63rd Street and I-435 and recognized the truck as the one whose driver had eluded police earlier by turning off the headlights and driving into Swope Park. According to officials, the officers remained a few car lengths behind the truck as it continued east on 63rd Street. The officers were joined by a second police car. Neither police car had its lights or sirens on. As the truck passed James A. Reed Road, the driver turned off the headlights and sped away, running a red light on the west side of the MO-350 overpass. The truck then ran a second red light on the east side of the overpass and collided with Howard's vehicle, which flipped over and came to rest on its side in the grass median. Howard died at a hospital. Howard's 12-year-old son suffered several non-life-threatening injuries. The officers said they did not chase the truck because ir would have violated the department's recently enacted pursuit policy. Some witness statements reportedly differed from the officers', but police didn't say how. Jackson County prosecutors charged the driver of the truck, Jeffrey A. Hodges, 34, with second-degree murder and first-degree tampering.
