State police have released more details about the Thursday night police-involved shooting that left James Lathan dead.
Capitan police said they got a call of delayed domestic violence at 9.42 p.m. Thursday night.
One Capitan police officer and three Lincoln County Sheriff deputies responded to the home at 92621 US Highway 380, about 15 miles west of its intersection with Highway 70.
State police said Latham answered the door holding a firearm.
Officers ordered Latham to put the gun down, but he refused.
The two Lincoln County deputies fired at Lathan.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Both of the deputies are now on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
