At Rest

Deadly force
An officer shot Swoboda after identifying his van as one involved in an earlier kidnapping, then stopping him and briefly exchanging gunfire. Swoboda was a fugitive and suspected of stalking women in the Portland area, and a grand jury cleared the officer of any charges following the shooting.
This record exists so that Kelly Vern Mark Swoboda, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
