At Rest

Deadly force
Police pursued a carjacked other. They inquired at the door closest to the stolen other. After knocking on the door, two people came outside and told the law officers that the man they wanted was under a bed. Casey Smith refused to come out but he did hand officers a gun. The officers were allegedly lifting up the bed when Smith shot at them with a second gun. Four deputies and two police officers fired back, killing Smith.
This record exists so that Casey Nicholas Smith, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
