How they died
Deadly force
Officers responded to a 911 call from Ralph Elliott III's wife saying that he had a gun and had allegedly fired two shots. When police arrived Elliott confronted them in the yard and did not respond to orders to stop advancing. When a Taser had no effect, Elliott reached for a handgun as he kept advancing. A deputy shot Elliott twice; he died of his wounds. Shooting was ruled justified by the Barry County Prosecutor in March 2013.
