At Rest

Suicide
Police responded to a domestic violence call around 12.30am where they found a man who said he'd been in an argument with his wife. The man said his wife, Alexica Stevenson-Gates, 34, started shooting and chased him out of the house, barricading herself inside with her 9-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. She released the boy from the home. Police entered the home at 6:30 a.m., and the woman barricaded herself in a closet with the girl. She shot two officers, who retreated. Officers entered again around 9 a.m. and found the woman and girl, Miloni Metoyer, dead in the closet.
This record exists so that Alexica Stevenson-Gates, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
