Uncle: Man called 911 “looking for help” before he was fatally shot by PBSO deputy

Suffering from mental health issues and having run out of his medication, Matthew Troy Pollow called 911 Wednesday evening “looking for help,” his uncle Randy Fishman said Friday.
A short time later, Pollow allegedly lunged at Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Deputy Evan Rosenthal with a screwdriver and was shot to death at the gated Tuscany Pointe apartment complex in suburban Boca Raton.
