Deputy Gutierrez deployed his Taser, but was unsuccessful. Deputies made numerous commands for Tyree to drop the weapon, but he would not comply. At that time, Tyree turned towards deputies and made threatening comments from about 5 feet away. In fear for their lives, all three deputies fired at the subject. Tyree was taken to Brandon Regional Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
All three deputies, 34-year-old Steve Gutierrez, 34-year-old Marina Stroud and 25-year-old James Maiello were placed on administrative leave, as part of standard procedure.
