Wolfe City police officer Shaun Lucas was arrested Monday after he shot and killed 31-year-old Jonathan Price over the weekend at a gas station. Following an administrative investigation conducted by the city, Lucas was fired Thursday "for his egregious violation of the City's and police department's policies," Wolfe City officials said in a statement.
The mayor and city council also said they joined the community in mourning.
"Wolfe City is a tight-knit community, and we join you in mourning Jonathan's death and the events of last week," the statement said.
