Investigators said Anderson opened fire after he was hit by the car. Kelty suffered a gunshot wound, and police said Nieves took the wheel and drove him to the hospital.
Anderson, who was working off-duty at the time, initially pulled over the car on South Kirkman Road in connection with reports of shots fired near an IHOP restaurant, police said.
The incident was caught on video.
Kelty's mother told Channel 9 she has filed an excessive force complaint against Anderson.
