Suspect on I-85 shot and killed by police

In a confrontation on I-85 in Anderson County, authorities say a suspect that police sought in a stolen vehicle case was shot dead by a deputy sheriff yesterday afternoon where the interstate meets highway 8.  The county deputy coroner identified the man shot dead as Anderson resident Jonathan Zachary Combs.  Deputies first tried to stop 40-year old Combs on Anderson’s Lee Street, but the pursuit wound up on the interstate.  The state police, “SLED”, at the request of the Anderson Sheriff’s Office are to conduct an independent investigation which is to collect all relevant evidence and, as needed, conduct a forensic test.
