How they died
Deadly force
Chipwata's family had been worried about his behavior for two days, with the African immigrant talking about the devil coming. By the time police encountered him on the 8th he'd threatened his sister with a knife, stripped naked and bathed himself in oil. He was shot to death. Later investigation found him involved in a $3M scam involving the U.S. Embassy in Zambia.
