How they died
Deadly force
Officers responded to a battery call at a 24-Hour Fitness gym. Albert Ramon Dorsey was a gym member who allegedly confronted an employee at the gym. Officers encountered Dorsey in the locker room wearing only a towel. Dorsey refused to leave the locker room and the officers attempted to cuff him. Dorsey violently resisted, causing one officer to taser him and drive-stun him several times, to no effect. Dorsey overpowered both officers by punching them in the face numerous times, knocking both officers to the ground. As Dorsey straddled one officer and punched her in the face, the other officer shot Dorsey five times, killing.
