MIAMI, Okla. — The Miami Police Department on Monday released the name of a man who was shot and killed by police Saturday night after he allegedly threw a knife at an officer.

The victim was identified as Ivar A. Rupley, 70, of 312 C St. S.E., Apartment 1, according to a police report.

According to the report, Officer Jeremy Myers and Officer Jeffrey Frazier responded about 9 p.m. Saturday to a call about Rupley allegedly hitting another tenant in the apartment house, Stephanie Pryor, with a cane.

Pryor told officers that her husband, Travis Pryor, had gone to the store, the report said.

She said she heard yelling and cursing coming from a downstairs apartment, and found her husband arguing with Rupley.

Rupley allegedly told Stephanie Pryor, “Your husband is a thief, and you’re a b---.”

Then, the report stated, Rupley hit Stephanie Pryor in the neck with his cane and struck her a second time in the leg.

Travis Pryor, the report stated, blocked the cane when Rupley tried to hit her a third time.

The couple called police to report the assault.

When the officers arrived, Frazier found Rupley’s door partially open and knocked on the door, the report stated.

Rupley allegedly cursed at Frazier and told him to leave.

Frazier found Rupley sitting on his bed holding his cane and a knife, according to the report. Another knife was nearby on the coffee table.

Rupley allegedly threw the knife at Frazier.
