At Rest

Deadly force
About 8:22 a.m. in the Emergency Department of the Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Treva Smutherman allegedly tried to get a deputy's gun, they scuffled, it fired, and a Fayetteville police detective who happened to be at the hospital for an unrelated matter shot and killed Smutherman.
This record exists so that Treva Smutherman, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
