At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies in Rockingham County tried to stop Casey Desper for a probation violation. Desper fled, leading to a chase that reached speeds of up to 100 mph. When officers caught up to him, he attempted to run them over, reportedly driving through a building, threatening to harm others, and ramming multiple police vehicles, until he was stopped by an officer on Reddish Knob Road, who shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Casey Edward Desper, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
