How they died
Deadly force
A local officer shot Ahern five times when he felt threatened during a traffic stop, and a sixth time when he observed the reverse lights come on. Video evidence disproved his story. The officer was fired, criminally prosecuted and sentenced to 30 days, and Ahern's family won a $20K settlement with the city. The officer later became police chief in a nearby town.
