How they died
Deadly force
An officer shot and killed Aaren Gwinn when he allegedly drove a car at police. Two unmarked police cars stopped a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix at about 1:55 p.m. after police got a tip that the car contained drugs. Gwinn, a passenger, allegedly got into the driver's seat and began driving off after the officers ordered the driver out. Witnesses said police shot Gwinn seven or eight times. The city later paid $1 million to Gwinn's estate.
