At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Wills was observed shoplifting a leather coat in a Dillard's store. His brutal beating at the hands of an off-duty local officer in the detention area of the store caused his death two days later. The officer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and was given three years. Wills' family won a settlement from the department store of $2.8M.
This record exists so that Guy Wills III, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
