How they died
Deadly force
Zylstra met up with a old childhood friend, socialized with him at a bar until 2 a.m., then drove to Palm Bay to buy crack. The two pulled onto a side street to smoke it. Two police vehicles--a marked cruiser and an unmarked van--intercepted Zylstra's car after observing it drive without headlights. An attempted traffic stop ended with Zylstra shot to death while trying to escape. A case questioning the legality of the shooting reached the Eleventh Circuit.
