Metro Nashville Police Officer Josh Baker pulled over a vehicle at 9.30am on Friday because the owner was wanted on six outstanding drug warrants, police spokesman Don Aaron told news outlets. Nika Holbert, 31, was driving the black Chevrolet Camaro, but its true owner was convicted felon Demond Buchanan, 42. Holbert jumps back in the driver's seat as Baker pulls out his Taser and deploys it against her. She suffered a gunshot wound in the fracas and was pronounced dead at Skyline Medical Center, police said. Holbert's adoptive mother, Lisa Holbert-Gooch, told The Tennessean the 31-year-old was wrong for pulling a gun but she is disturbed by the actions of the officer who shot her daughter dead.
