Overview 
A Kings County Sheriff’s deputy shot and killed 27 year-old Dominique Antwon Anderson, who was armed with a machete after the assailant’s wounded brother called for help, authorities said.
Investigators believe Tuesday’s incident began after Anderson confronted a couple sleeping in a vehicle of taking his narcotics and headphones.
Bevens said deputies became aware of the incident just before 8 a.m. Tuesday, as Jamal Anderson reported to a sheriff’s dispatcher that his brother had attacked him with a machete and was trying to kill him.
When deputies arrived at First Place and Houston Avenue, just south of Hanford, they encountered the brothers, and Jamal Anderson sought protection behind a sheriff’s vehicle. Bevens said Dominique Anderson approached the deputies, refusing to drop a knife. One deputy shot Dominique Anderson.
Bevens said Dominique Anderson immediately stood up, armed himself with a machete and charged the deputy with the weapon over his head. Several more shots were fired and the attacker fell to the ground. Emergency medical personnel attempted first aid, but Dominique Anderson died at the scene.
