Dash- and body-worn camera footage released Friday night by the Metro Nashville Police Department showed that around 9 a.m. while Baker was patrolling Brick Church Pike, he came across a black 2015 Chevrolet Camaro registered to Demond M. Buchanan, who was wanted on six outstanding warrants related to drug charges.
The car stopped in the parking lot of a Dollar General on Brick Church Pike, at which point Baker discovered that the driver was actually Nika Nicole Holbert, 31, police spokesman Don Aaron said. Holbert was not licensed to drive, Aaron said Saturday.

Video footage showed that Holbert called someone, whom she identified as her mom, and said she needed to come to the scene. When Baker discovered the apparent drugs, he informed Holbert he was stepping away to place them in his police vehicle.

Things escalated when Baker attempted to detain Holbert. She grabbed her bag and ran away from the officer, who told her she was about "to get tased." He pulled out his stun gun, and the woman screamed and ran into the vehicle, at which point Baker deployed the weapon on her, video footage showed.

Seconds later, Baker took a step back and screamed at the woman "to put the gun down."

The footage showed the two exchanging gunfire. The shot that hit Baker's torso knocked him backward in the parking lot. He immediately called dispatch to inform them he had been struck. Aaron said Holbert threw the pistol into the parking lot, which was later discovered by investigators.

Holbert then drove the car away from the scene, soon crashing it in the bushes and ditch at the intersection of Brick Church Pike and Moorewood Drive. Emergency crews on the scene rendered aid to Holbert and took her to Skyline Medical Center, where she died.
