J.C. Conyers

How they died

Deadly force

A schizophrenic who rode a kid's bike around his tough neighborhood, picking up trash with the idea that his mother could sell it, there was plenty of evidence of Conyers' mental illness. Still he somehow ran afoul of police and ended up in a confrontation in a small bedroom of his mother's house. He threatened the police with a garden rake, and was fatally shot.
