At Rest

Deadly force
Police shot and killed Burlakoff, who suffered from bipolar disorder, after failing to comply with officers' orders and tried to reach for a handgun. Witnesses said that Burlakoff had just earlier shot and killed his wife. Her body was found in an empty lot. Burlakoff's death was ruled suicide-by-cop because witnesses say he asked for police to shoot him as he reached for his gun.
This record exists so that Ian Burlakoff, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
