At Rest

Deadly force
Officers responding to a complaint entered an apartment where Montgomery threatened a woman and a baby with a knife. The woman dropped the baby and left when officers entered. Montgomery picked the baby up and put a knife to its throat with one hand, then lit a crack pipe with the other. Officers tried to reason with him. Officer J. Fisher fatally shot him as he tried to hide in a bathroom. The baby survived.
This record exists so that Kenny Detrelle Montgomery, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
