At Rest

Deadly force
Officers Barron Townsend and Laron York responded to a domestic violence call. When they arrived, Dennis Crawford ran to the back door. The officers brought Crawford to the ground in a struggle. The officers shot and killed Crawford, who was unarmed. A federal lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount in 2006.
This record exists so that Dennis Crawford, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
