At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies and officers were trying to serve a federal warrant for narcotics dealing. Peter Russell reportedly sped off in a car, before hitting a deputy's car, and then a telephone pole. Police removed a female passenger. Russell allegedly first waved a machete before picking up a gun and firing several shots. Officers shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Peter “Pete” M. Russell, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
