How they died
Deadly force
Lynford Ray Smith was shot and killed after a "slow-speed" chase through parts of West Knoxville. The chase ended in a muddy field when he allegedly tried to run over several Knoxville officers who had gotten out of their cruisers at the dead end of Abercorn Road. The officers opened fire on his van after he backed toward them, and a bullet struck him in the head, police said. He allegedly had a broken tail light.
