Maryville, Tennessee — On Thursday, February 8, 2024, Blount County Sheriff Deputy Shelby Eggers, 22, is seen In split-screen body camera footage pulling over and approaching 42-year-old Kenneth DeHart. Deputy Eggers tells DeHart that he had been driving on the wrong side of the road, to which he replies that he was busy tying his hair up and didn’t notice. He said he was driving back home after attending a high school sports game for his son, and later told Deputy Eggers he was in his grandmother's car after leaving his truck at home. He gives Deputy Eggers a document when she asks for the vehicle's registration, and she walks back to her cruiser as he searches for documents about the car's insurance. Back at the cruiser, she calls Deputy Greg McCowan, 43, about the traffic stop. Deputy Eggers got back out of the cruiser, approaching DeHart. Deputy Eggers asks DeHart several times to exit the vehicle, saying she suspected him of smoking marijuana. DeHart refuses to get out of the vehicle and repeatedly denies smoking marijuana.

The second deputy, McCowan, then arrives at the scene and approaches the vehicle from the driver’s side, instructing DeHart to step out of the car. DeHart again refuses and Deputy Eggers opens the car door and attempts to pull DeHart out as he resists. After the suspect refused to comply to the Deputies, McCowan deployed his taser. The footage showed DeHart screaming and writhing in pain after he was hit multiple times with the taser. DeHart is seen slamming his door shut and releasing a barrage of gunfire towards both of the deputies. Body camera shows Deputy McCowan dropping to the ground. McCowan’s dash camera video shows Deputy Eggers getting shot and limping away toward a patrol car. DeHart then fires an additional shot before driving away as Deputy Eggers fires at the fleeing car. After the shooting, Deputy Eggers radioes that she and McCowan had been hit and flags down a vehicle. She calls for Deputy McCowan, but gets no response.

After radioing for assistance, she attempted to put a tourniquet on herself, with the footage showing blood on her leg. Moments later, a truck with a man and woman inside is seen pulling up beside Deputy Eggers and offering assistance. The man helped Deputy Eggers apply the tourniquet. The woman walked over to Deputy McCowan, then came back and said, "He's not breathing." Other officers arrive a short time later. Authorities later announced Deputy McCowan was killed in the shooting. The incident triggered a multi-day search for DeHart, including through wooded areas, as authorities warned the public of an armed and dangerous suspect. Deputy Eggers has since been released from the hospital. The suspect in the case, Kenneth DeHart, evaded police for nearly five days before he was captured at a home in Knoxville on Tuesday, the day before McCowan’s funeral. He was charged with first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, and felon in possession of a weapon. Three people have been charged with helping DeHart: his brother, Marcus DeHart, his girlfriend, Carrie Matthews, and a third individual identified as Maurice Warren.
