State police say Keaton was fatally shot Saturday night by state police Sgt. Marcus Daniels after police say crashing a stolen taxicab on an interstate off-ramp, stabbing an Arkansas Highway Police officer, then approached the trooper with the weapon.

State police said Daniels first used a stun gun, which failed to stop Keaton who refused orders to drop the weapon.

The highway patrol officer was treated and released at a hospital and Daniels, who was placed on paid leave pending an investigation into the shooting, was not injured, state police said.
