How they died

Deadly force

Deputy Tyler Brockman was investigating a field party that was breaking up at 2 a.m. Samantha Ramsey and two passengers were leaving the party in Ramsey's Subaru. Brockman alleges that he ordered Ramsey to stop and she drove in his general direction, so he shot her four times through her windshield, killing her. Passengers said Ramsey purposely jumped on the hood of her slow moving car and started shooting. At the wrongful death civil trial, Boone County settled out of court with Ramsey's family for $3.5 million.
