Deadly force
20-year-old Willie Lee Bingham Jr. was shot and killed as he and his friends allegedly attempted to flee the scene of a vandalized other. Bingham allegedly resisted arrest; in fact was running away and was shot in the back of the head. The shooting was ruled "unnecessary" by the attorney general's office. Former deputy Walter Grant was indicted on manslaughter charges and arrested in March of 2015. NAACP said the family is also pursuing a civil suit against the department and Grant.
