At Rest

Deadly force
Thurston was sought by authorities for the murder of his cousin. Trapped by police in a Comfort Inn, he took off on foot, unarmed, to try to escape. Officers shot at him 27 and hit him 13 times, which was "consistent with statements of the officers and (did) not show an excessive use of force," according to a police spokesman.
This record exists so that Haki Thurston, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
