Beverly Kirk

How they died

Vehic/Purs

Officer Bryan Crenshaw, his lights and sirens off, followed an ambulance, its lights and sirens on, around 3 a.m. After the ambulance passed, Kirk, mentally ill and intoxicated, walked onto the street. Crenshaw fatally struck her. It is unclear whether his lights and sirens should have been according to the policy of his department. Kirk's family, though angry that authorities never notified them of her death, hesitated to condemn Crenshaw.
