The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) has identified the man killed in a deputy-involved shooting that occurred on Sunday along the Beach Express. The deceased has been named as 29-year-old Logan Tyler Swanson, a resident of Foley. The incident has prompted an ongoing investigation to determine the full details surrounding the fatal confrontation.
The shooting took place during a routine traffic stop just north of U.S. 90. According to authorities, the situation escalated when one of the vehicle’s occupants engaged in a physical altercation with the deputies. Law enforcement reports indicate that Swanson ignored the deputies’ commands to stop and instead pulled out a firearm, leading one of the deputies to discharge their weapon, fatally striking Swanson.
In the aftermath of the shooting, the deputies involved were unharmed. As per standard procedure in such incidents, the deputies have been placed on administrative leave while the Baldwin County Major Crimes Unit assumes responsibility for the investigation. This is part of the efforts to ensure transparency and accountability. Once the investigation is completed, the findings will be submitted to the Baldwin County District Attorney’s Office for further review.
Authorities are still gathering information regarding the circumstances of the altercation and the decision to use deadly force. The BCSO has pledged full cooperation with the investigation, emphasizing their commitment to transparency and thoroughness throughout the process.
While the investigation is ongoing, the community is urged to stay informed and patient as authorities work to uncover all the facts surrounding the shooting. The BCSO has reassured the public that the inquiry will be conducted with the utmost attention to detail.
As the investigation continues, more details about the circumstances leading to the shooting may emerge, shedding light on the series of events that led to Logan Tyler Swanson’s tragic death.
