At Rest

Deadly force
Dontavious Lamar Cliatt was believed to be connected with the shooting death of David Glenn Gibson, 45, during a suspected robbery at Gibson's used car lot in Phenix City. About 90 minutes later, Cliatt was spotted and stopped by police as he was driving along Sandfort Road. When officers directed Cliatt to exit the other, he emerged with pistol in hand and fired at officers, police said. Two Russell County deputies and five Phenix City officers fired back at Cliatt, striking him multiple times.
