How they died

Deadly force

Two officers shot Charles Hudson after he allegedly rammed their car with his Nissan Altima as police attempted to make a drug arrest at the 7-Eleven at Hoffmeister Avenue and South Broadway. According to police, Hudson was shot multiple times and likely died quickly, but his foot apparently remained on the accelerator and a back-seat passenger leaned over his body to steer the car on a five-mile chase. The car continued into St. Louis until it crashed into a concrete planter and several cars.
