At Rest

Deadly force
A number of local police converged on Barnes by the side of the interstate south of downtown Raleigh at 3 a.m.; he was obviously upset, under some kind of pressure, and bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. At some point he turned his box-cutter knife toward deputies in a threatening way, and they shot him to death.
This record exists so that Eric Jerome Barnes, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
