How they died
Deadly force
Police got a call saying that Connell Lindsey was harassing the Jasco gas station owner with a knife. Police said that the responding officer, Corliss Harris, directed Lindsey twice to drop the knife, then fatally shot him when he allegedly lunged at the store owner. Witnesses said that the owner was armed with a baseball bat, often harassed and threatened patrons, and the bat prompted Lindsey to pull out his knife. Witnesses also said that Lindsey dropped his knife before Harris shot him.
