How they died
Deadly force
Officer Ken Jaklic stopped a 1999 Mercury Cougar driven by Laszlo John Latits around 1 a.m. for driving the wrong way on Livernois near Marshall. Jaklic allegedly saw several bags of marijuana and a bottle of pills in the glove box. Police said Latits drove away when Jaklic told him to get out of the car. Latits turned left on 8 Mile before entering the parking lot of Stanley's Other Place restaurant. Police said Latits drove over the grass to Woodward, fleeing into Detroit as other FPD patrol vehicles joined the chase. Officer Lowell Phillips' rammed Latits' car at State Fair, causing the Cougar to crash into a light pole. Four officers tried to box in Latits' car, but he allegedly drove into Jaklic's car, backed up and nearly ran over Phillips, who shot Latits three times, killing him.
