A Jamaican man is now dead after being shot by a police officer in the US state of California.

This shooting came after state law enforcers responded to a carjacking, which turned into a deadly car chase.

Police said the Jamaican, identified as Vinton Miller, was staying in the Tahoe area on a work visa. They said he was shot after he brandished a knife.

Officials said they tried to provide medical aid to Miller, but he was ultimately pronounced dead.

The police officer who opened fire has been placed on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the shooting investigation.
