An Amazon delivery driver shot and killed an alleged 17-year-old carjacker in Cleveland over the weekend, prompting an investigation, according to multiple reports.
The Amazon employee was approached by the teen around 4 p.m. on Saturday, Cleveland police told WKYC. The individual attempted to carjack the Amazon driver at gunpoint, according to the Cleveland, Ohio-based TV station.
The carjacker got behind the wheel of the Amazon driver's vehicle and tried driving off, but he eventually crashed, police said. The Amazon employee shot the suspect at some point during the incident, WKYC reported.
USA TODAY contacted Cleveland police on Monday but did not receive an immediate response.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner identified the alleged carjacker as a 17-year-old male, WOIO said.
