At Rest

Deadly force
Two St. Louis patrolmen, working part-time jobs for Mardi Gras Inc., responded to a report of gunfire. When they arrived, they observed Roberson brandishing a handgun. The officers ordered him to drop the gun; he instead turned and pointed it in their direction. Both officers fired shots, wounding the man. He was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
This record exists so that Otis Roberson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
