Montana Hwy 223 Fort Benton MT 59442 Chouteau
Cause of Death
Deadly force
Because he'd driven away without paying for $8 of gas, deputies and state troopers pursued 13-year-old Keeley in his 1985 Accord. He refused a traffic stop, fired a shotgun, continued to drive after stop sticks had flattened his tires, and lost a final confrontation on the roadside. Both officers fired about 17 times, killing the teen. His family pursued a $2M wrongful death suit which failed.
