At Rest

Deadly force
A man with a concealed carry permit shot a man who was attacking a Lee County deputy on an I-75 off-ramp. Witnesses said a deputy tried to pull over a man near the Corkscrew exit. The suspect took off in his other, reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour. Eventually, the driver got out of his car on an off-ramp and attacked the deputy. That's when witnesses say a third person came over and shot and killed Strother.
This record exists so that Edward Strother, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
