How they died
Deadly force
Deputy Jason Ates was shot in the upper thigh after he and Deputy Jennifer Lovley-Gandy went to the Motel 6 on Pensacola Boulevard to do a welfare check on a missing person. Ates tried to push the door open, and Michael Scott Lee tried to close it. The struggle spilled into the room where Lee shot Ates through the thigh. After Lovley-Gandy struggled with Lee Ates shot Lee because he wouldn't drop his handgun. At that point Deputy Lovley-Gandy and Deputy Ates both fired a number of rounds at Lee, killing him.
