At Rest

Deadly force
Police said Officer Andrew Deddish, assisted by Lt. Marshall Depew, tried to pull Lawrence Primus over for an alleged traffic violation. Primus drove away, and the two officers pursued him in separate cars, police said. At 29th and Harding streets, police said, Primus started shooting at his pursuers. A bullet went through the windshield of Depew's car and exited the front driver's side window. An officer fired a single shot, killing Primus.
This record exists so that Lawrence E. Primus, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
