Youwiers Vilpie, 24, was wanted for questioning over two murders in Florida. Members of Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force went to arrest him on federal drug and weapons charges at an apartment complex in Atlanta. Officers first shot him with a Taser but it seemed to have little affect.
US Marshal, Richard Mecum said Vilpie emerged with "something in his hand and he pointed it at them". Agents told him several times to put his hand down and opened fire when he refused, it was reported.
Mecum said Vilpre apparently had put his hand down inside a shoe and was pointing the shoe at the officers when he was shot. "They weren't sure what it was because it was dark, and they thought it was a gun," Mecum said and added that Vilpre was part of a robbery crew that had been targeting businesses in Collier County, Florida.
Below is what I think the shoe may have looked like in better light.

I see you have the ol' Doc-automatic in a 9mm variant. Interesting, we'll be sure that you'll be wearing flip-flops when you're sent to prison now.
