Dexter Luckett

How they died

Deadly force

Deputies were responding to a call of shots fired. When deputies arrived at the location, an informant directed them to the rear of an apartment complex where they located Luckett, who matched the description of the shooter given by the informant. The deputies ordered Luckett to walk to the car and place his hands on the hood. As he reached the hood of the car, Luckett quickly dropped his left hand to his rear waistband area. Believing Luckett had retrieved a weapon, a deputy fired one round from his firearm, hitting Luckett. The coroner found that Luckett had been shot twice. No weapon was recovered at the scene.
