How they died
Deadly force
About 1:15 p.m. on April 15, officers were sent to Joshua Marks' home and were informed he was "self-harming and was acting erratically." Officers were told Marks had made suicidal comments and had been stabbing himself with a safety pin. Marks was inside his garage and armed with a kitchen knife. Marks had ignored officers' commands and advanced toward them after they were unable to subdue him with a bean bag round. An officer shot and killed him. The hospital said he would have survived the gunshot, but he refused needed dialysis.
