At Rest

Deadly force
Following an argument with his brother, deputies responded to Barnes's house, and Barnes opened the front door with a machete in hand. The deputy "took off running," according to a witness. Barnes threatened a second deputy at the scene and ended up shot seven times, fatally.
This record exists so that Robert Lamont Barnes, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
