FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – The driver of a stolen van who was shot by a Fargo police officer has died.

Police Chief Dave Zibolski says the 28-year-old Jamestown man, who has not been publicly identified, died at a hospital several hours after the shooting at an apartment building in the 3400 blk. of 15th Ave. S. The shooting occurred shortly after 8 a.m. Friday.

The officer has been placed on paid administrative leave while the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation conducts an independent investigation into the shooting and whether it was justified.

Zibolski says the officer is an 11-year veteran of the department.

25-year-old Colby Dunn with no permanent address, a passenger in the van, was arrested at the scene for not following commands of officers to stop and having methamphetamine.

A search continues for another passenger who police are still trying to identify.

Zibolski says the shooting will be reviewed by the Cass County State’s Attorney’s Office once the state investigation is concluded.
