An Oak Ridge police officer was legally entitled to use lethal force against a man who was driving toward the officer when he was struck by two bullets after a police chase in October, Seventh Judicial District Attorney General Dave Clark said Thursday.

The shooting in the parking lot of the county courthouse and county offices on Emory Valley on October 8 killed Isaiah D. Ramirez, 36. The shooting was investigated by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which is common in shootings that involve police officers. The case was assigned to TBI Agent Denise Woodby.

On Thursday, Clark announced that the investigation of the officer-involved shooting is complete. The investigation included a team of forensic scientists from the TBI Knoxville Violent Crime Response Team and forensic crime scene truck the day of the shooting, officer and witness statements, photographs and video recordings
“Based upon the totality of the circumstances, Officer Nathan Gibson had a reasonable basis to believe at the time that the suspect, Isaiah Ramirez, posed a threat of death or serious bodily injury to him (Gibson),” Clark said in a press release. “Gibson met the requirement multiple times of verbally ordering Ramirez to stop. Thus, Gibson was legally entitled to use lethal force against Isaiah Ramirez. While gunshots were the immediate cause of Ramirez’s death, it was Ramirez’s own decisions and conduct that were responsible for his death. No criminal charges would be legal or appropriate against Officer Nathan Gibson.”
Ramirez, who had warrants for his arrest, fled from police in a pickup truck on Cumberland View Drive and forced two officers to jump out of his way to avoid being struck and narrowly missed another; drove around police trying to stop him and did not comply with verbal orders to stop, including from an officer who had his firearm drawn, or with police lights and sirens in a residential area and then down Emory Valley Road; and drove toward Gibson, who was standing with his weapon pointed at Gibson in the parking lot of the county courthouse and offices on Emory Valley Road.

Gibson fired his weapon three times through the front windshield of the Nissan Frontier driven by Ramirez, and Ramirez hit Gibson in the leg with the pickup truck, causing Gibson to stumble backward, Clark said. One bullet hit Ramirez in the upper right chest before exiting through his right back, and a second went through his right arm before entering his chest, Clark said. The gunshot wounds caused Ramirez to die, Clark said.

A third bullet struck and was lodged in the steering wheel of the pickup truck.

There was a black and silver container located in the pickup truck that contained pills, Clark said. An analysis by the TBI Crime Laboratory found the pills included three clonazepam tablets, 21 alprazolam tablets, 68 buprenorphine tablets, and 101 amphetamine tablets, Clark said.

“On the day of this shooting, there is little doubt that Ramirez knew that police officers were looking for him or had a warrant for his arrest and had ordered him to stop,” Clark said. “Ramirez had defied uniformed officers in marked patrol units who had given him verbal orders and who had also pointed firearms at him. Ramirez attempted to and almost did struck Officer Gibson at their initial encounter when he got in his truck and fled. Ramirez attempted to and almost did strike Officer Kyle Scott when he defied the verbal orders of multiple officers as he encountered a group of other Oak Ridge officers further down Cumberland View Drive. There is no doubt that Ramirez defied the pursuing police vehicles that were displaying emergency lights and sirens, which is legally mandated and universally understood as a command to pull over. In addition, Ramirez attempted to sideswipe Sergeant (Jeremy) Huddleston during the pursuit. From witness tips and the friend he was speaking to on the phone for the purpose of organizing an escape on foot, we know that Ramirez had no intent of allowing himself to be arrested.

“As the result of this investigation, we know that Ramirez had committed additional felonies against police officers as they attempted to arrest him and thus would have reason to believe that additional criminal charges would be taken against him. Officer Gibson was also aware of these factors as he encountered Ramirez in the parking lot that evening.
