OSBI special agents are investigating a fatal officer-Involved shooting that happened this afternoon. Dylan Rogers (d.o.b. 4/2/1977) was shot and killed after he attempted to run over a Wetumka police officer at approximately 3 pm. The shooting occurred after Rogers was arrested, handcuffed, and placed in the back seat of a Wetumka police cruiser following a pursuit with officers. The pursuit started in the city limits of Wetumka and ended at Hughes County roads 127 and 381. Rogers slipped out of one cuff, got out of the car, and into a Hughes County sheriff deputy's car. Rogers then reportedly drove toward the Wetumka officer. That officer fired his weapon striking Rogers at least one time. Rogers died at the scene. The Hughes County Sheriff's Office requested OSBI investigate. The district attorney will determine if the shooting was justified. Rogers is from Hughes County.
