Police said that Elliot was hit multiple times during the gunfight. He died at a local hospital several hours later. Chauncey was taken into custody, and has been charged with capital murder and aggravated assault on a peace officer. Investigators said his actions during the altercation resulted in Elliot's death. The brothers' family and friends rallied in his defense in the wake of the officer-involved shooting, and many said they did not believe the men had done anything to harm the officer. "I think the whole thing is messed up," one of the suspects' cousins, who did not want to be named. "They say he was shooting at the police? I don't believe that. Because that's my little cousin. I know he ain't gonna shoot at no police." He was a good person. He didn't bother anyone," one of Elliot's friends, who also did not want to be named, told the news outlet. "Everybody has their flaws - who's to say they didn't just kill him because they felt threatened by him?"
