At Rest

Deadly force
According to reports and court documents, undercover narcotics Sgt. Rich saw James Lee Alexander Jr. leave a suspected drug house. Merrow followed Alexander and initiated a traffic stop after he said he saw Alexander driving without a seatbelt and without using turn signals. As his car was about to be towed away, Alexander allegedly jumped in and took off, dragging Merrow. Merrow shot and killed Alexander.
This record exists so that James Lee Alexander Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
