How they died
Deadly force
Bailey came to the town hall of Eutawville, population 300, to complain about a traffic ticket issued to his daughter. A dispute developed in the parking lot with the police chief. Unarmed, reported as a "kind-hearted and law-abiding" man, Bailey was fatally shot three times. Years after the incident, in December 2014, the now-resigned chief was indicted by a grand jury for murder, on top of a pending misconduct-in-office charge from 2013, and Bailey's widow filed a wrongful death civil suit against the city.
