At Rest

Deadly force
Brown County police alerted other departments about a despondent person who was possibly armed around 11:40 a.m. A Columbus officer spotted the truck. But when he tried to stop it, Martin Louis Douglas Jr. refused to stop and fled from the officer, and police from several departments pursued. Douglas allegedly drove erratically and at high speeds. After he struck a tire-deflating device, Douglas then allegedly stopped in the roadway and fired approximately 15 rounds from an AR-15, fled again, and after a second exchange of gunfire, police shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Martin Louis Douglas Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
