LaKenya Latrice Winchester

How they died

Vehic/Purs

A private security company officer (who, unique to North Carolina, are sworn officers with authority from the state) attempted a traffic stop for speeding and reckless driving. The suspect pulled over but fled when the officer approached his car. The officer chased the suspect, who struck a truck, a rock wall, and then three young pedestrians, killing Winchester. Police were quoted saying the officer had obeyed the speed limit during the pursuit, and that there was no pursuit.
