Vice News announced that in an interview with Reinoehl, he claimed the shooting was in self-defense. 

“You know, lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn’t even be saying anything, but I feel it’s important that the world at least gets a little bit of what’s really going on,” Reinoehl told Vice News. “I had no choice. I mean, I had a choice. I could have sat there and watched them kill a friend of mine of color. But I wasn’t going to do that.”

According to reports, a federal fugitive task force moved in to make an arrest and killed Reinoehl when serving the warrant in Lacy Washington, after an encounter with Reinoehl.
