Herson Hilaire

How they died

Deadly force

Brothers Herson and Hedson Hilaire emerged from a condominium under police surveillance for drug activity, and climbed into their Honda Civic to leave. Four officers surrounded the car and prevented their escape. Herson drove the Honda at one officer, who bounced off the hood. Herson was shot to death in the driver's seat. Hedson attempted to escape and "collapsed in the street", also dead.

Why we remember them
