How they died
Deadly force
Broke into his own Lithonia home after his wife told a babysitter and police by phone not to let the keyless Smith in following an argument they'd just had in Las Vegas. Police tried to tase Smith but then shot him when they said he charged at officers with a butcher knife. His family sued.
