How they died
Deadly force
Undercover DNE agent Daniel Stepleton arranged to buy narcotics at Breckenridge Estates mobile home park and arrived with another agent shortly before 7 p.m. Ivan Carl Hardemon let them inside the trailer, drew a handgun from his backpack and directed two masked men to pat the officers down. Stepleton said he leaned against the wall to prevent the removal of a handgun tucked into his waistband. Hardemon allegedly aimed his gun at Stepleton's head. Stepleton tried to push the gun away, drew his own gun and fired four shots, striking Hardemon twice and hitting Demarco Dudley, 22, twice in the arm. Hardemon fled the trailer and died at the back of a vacant lot across the street.
