At Rest

Deadly force
A deputy from Okfuskee County Sheriff's Department was responding to a domestic dispute call, when a man (Curtis Ray Fipps), not involved in the dispute, approached the deputy with a shotgun. The deputy repeatedly ordered Fipps to drop his weapon. Fipps was fatally shot by the deputy when he did not comply with the order. Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) is investigating the justification of Fipps' death.
This record exists so that Curtis Ray Fipps, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
