How they died
Deadly force
Off-duty officer Kevin Jones, 31, shot William Darnell "Duck" Harlston after he allegedly robbed and shot two vendors selling stuffed animals from a mobile trailer. According to police, Jones happened to be sitting behind the trailer talking to one of the operators, when he heard gunshots and someone demanding money. Jones drew his gun, confronted Harlston, and identified himself as an officer. Harlston allegedly pointed the gun at Jones, who shot him twice. Homicide was called at 6:20 p.m. The two vendors were hospitalized. Allegations that Jones was protecting a gambling joint run out of the trailer were raised after the shooting.
