At Rest

Deadly force
At 11:29 p.m., an officer attempted a traffic stop on a other. The driver, Clay Tatum, failed to yield to stop, and the officer pursued. Tatum continued fled out of Oxford city limits and into Lafayette County. The officer called for assistance and continued the pursuit. Tatum eventually pulled the other over and fled to a nearby residence. Officers pursued Tatum into the home, where he allegedly brandished a weapon, pointing it at an officer, and police shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Clay Tatum, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
