How they died
Deadly force
Officer Mark Brown shot Reginald Knight eight times in the back when he allegedly pointed a gun at officers chasing him. Witnesses said that Knight had both hands on a fence and was talking to an officer in front of him when Brown opened fire from behind him. Witnesses also said that the officers gave high-fives to each other as they stood over Knight's body. The mother of Knight's children was arrested when she arrived at the scene. She was released six hours later without being charged--it was only then that she learned Knight was dead. The city settled a wrongful death lawsuit for $100,000.
