Then there is this story.When the officer arrived “he was immediately confronted by an armed subject,” Bucheit said.
That person, a white man who was about 20 years but that police have not yet named, was armed with what was described as a butcher knife.
“There was a brief confrontation and in that confrontation the officer discharged his weapon,” Bucheit said.

I didn't see anything mentioned in either of these two sources about a weapon recovered at the scene. According to the first link the officer did not have a body cam, but they are reviewing cruiser cam video.Francis Adu, 41, another resident of the complex, said he didn’t see any weapon in the man’s hands seconds before the shooting.
Adu said a Hamilton police cruiser — without its lights or sirens activated — pulled in behind him in the complex and parked his vehicle in the parking lot. Adu parked his car in front of his apartment, and watched from his car as the man, shirtless and wearing a black scarf around his face, took two steps toward the officer with his arms in the air, he said.
Adu said the officer fired twice and hit the victim in the stomach. The man fell into a grassy area near the parking lot, Adu said. Adu pointed to the area and said the grass was still blood-stained.
The man died at the scene and no other shooting victims were found, according to police.
Seconds later, several Hamilton police officers responded to the complex, Adu said. He said residents came out of their apartments and started filming the police activity with their cell phones.
Adu said he was interviewed by detectives at the Hamilton police station on Saturday. He spent most of Saturday night telling his friends on the phone what he had witnessed.
