How they died
Deadly force
A state corrections officer tracking Snyder as a parole jumper shot the unarmed Snyder in the back, killing him. The officer described a lunging motion that made him fear for his life. In one of the rare cases where an officer had criminal charges filed against him for a line-of-duty killing, the shooter was found not guilty. A federal jury ordered the state to pay Snyder's family $1M in civil damages.
