How they died
Deadly force
Shanna Lee Richardson,25, and Michael Joseph Baker, 32, were killed during an incident that started when Richardson and Baker allegedly drove off without paying for gasoline in Lake City. The incident escalated to a high-speed chase as they reportedly fled from officers in a stolen pickup truck, shooting from the truck toward Deputy Jonathan "Adam" Bryant's pursuing patrol car. When the truck crashed near the Claxton Volunteer Fire Department, Baker reportedly fired at Bryant. Bryant got out of his patrol car and got a rifle out of the trunk and began shooting back. Cpl. James Daniel "J.D." Powell, who was off duty at the time, arrived and also began firing on the truck. Richardson and Baker were both killed.
