At Rest

Vehic/Purs
Obi Bailey's Honda Accord, carrying two friends-of-friends Larry Smith Jr. and David Demetrius Austin, was pulled over by a county deputy for burned-out headlights. Bailey bolted from the traffic stop and fled at speeds up to 80 MPH. The eight-minute police chase ended with the Accord crashed into a tree and the three teens dead. Legal battles addressed whether or not Smith and Austin were "fleeing suspects."
This record exists so that Larry Smith Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
