At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies went to a home around 9:30 p.m. to interview Kelly Townsend, who had a warrant for her arrest. While interviewing Townsend, they saw Matthew Nocerino, who had felony warrants for burglary and theft. Nocerino went into a bedroom, where he allegedly pulled out a handgun and started firing at deputies, hitting one in his bulletproof vest. A deputy shot and killed Nocerino.
This record exists so that Matthew Nocerino, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
