How they died
Deadly force
Officer Louis Abner Jones shot Tucker after Tucker allegedly led authorities on a low-speed chase on Interstate 80, which ended when a trooper executed a PIT maneuver, stopping Tucker's pickup truck near Saltair. Investigators say Tucker rammed a trooper's car and threw the car into reverse, turning his wheels toward an officer, when Jones shot him. Tucker's family sued police, saying that Jones' dash cam video showed he did not activate his lights or sirens to stop Tucker, who was suffering from medical problems and may have been in diabetic shock. The family said the case settled for $100,000.
