Spencer Everett Posey

How they died

Deadly force

Witnesses differ on whether or not Posey had given up carrying his hatchet while running away from the reservation officer around dawn on a Sunday morning, but most say he had his hands raised, and all say he was shirtless. He was fatally shot once in the stomach while standing in a vacant lot, as a conclusion to years of low-level conflict with the local police.
