How they died
Deadly force
Timothy Hill was a bipolar 18-year-old who had previous encounters with West Virginia State Trooper B.D. Gillespie, who lived in the same neighborhood. After the trooper's wife complained that three men had vandalized his patrol car in the driveway, Gillespie put himself on duty and went searching and found them. Gillespie let two of them go but attempted to arrest Hill. Hill resisted and a struggle ensued. Gillespie alleged Hill reached for his gun, so he shot and killed Hill. Hill's family awarded $700,000 settlement in civil suit.
