At Rest

Deadly force
With various felony convictions already behind him Watkins had failed to appear for a recent 45-year prison sentence, then attacked a county officer with a tire iron during a traffic stop, then escaped. After a standoff of several hours at his residence, including tear gas, Watkins was fatally shot.
This record exists so that Winford Raynard Watkins, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
