At Rest

Deadly force
Two officers shot Cloyd O. Kenshalo when he allegedly backed a car toward them after a high-speed chase from Godfrey to Alton. Kenshalo had led officers from the Madison County Sheriff's Office and the Alton Police Department on a brief chase before crashing into a chain-link fence. A witness said that he heard the officers tell Kenshalo to get out of the car, and saw Kenshalo put the car into reverse. Two officers then opened fire. A grand jury said the officers were justified in killing Kenshalo.
This record exists so that Cloyd O. Kenshalo, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
