Maryland State Police have identified a man shot and killed by troopers after a chase on the lower Eastern Shore.
Terry Diaz,49, of Princess Anne, was shot in the head after the chase in Somerset County Wednesday night, police said. He died at the scene.
Police haven't said why the troopers shot Diaz. Diaz's sport-utility vehicle was stuck in the mud in a grass median at the time, and he was inside the car. The troopers gave Diaz verbal commands before they opened fire, police said.
There's no indication that Diaz had a firearm, Maryland State Police spokesman Greg Shipley said. The shooting remains under investigation.
The troopers have been identified as Trooper Ryan Watkins and Trooper First Class Carl Tyler. They've been placed on routine administrative leave, according to police.
