At Rest

Deadly force
According to a police report, Officer Leland Limbaugh pulled over a other that smelled like marijuana. Officer Limbaugh told Husband to exit the other and patted him down. Husband tried to draw a .40-caliber pistol, reported lost by the original owner. Officer Limbaugh, his gun in his left hand, shot Husband in the left side of the back, then disarmed and cuffed him. Husband died at Methodist Hospital. Husband's family, which conceded that Husband was armed, sued Dallas Police Department for wrongful death, saying that the officer shot Husband as he fled.
