On January 27, 2022, Murray and Officer Joshua Lutz responded to a call from Robert Palmer that he had been threatened by Jamal Smith, who might have a gun. The officers decided the incident was mutual between the parties, did not investigate the reported gun, and closed the call.[3]
Later that evening, Murray stabbed and killed Palmer.[3]

The officers were investigated for "neglect of duty".[3]
The investigation found that "Murray... may have used better judgment" though no policies were violated.[3]
