At Rest

Deadly force
Officers responded to a report of shots fired outside an apartment building on the city's northwest side. They confronted Alonzo Smith in a car outside his aunt's house. When officers ordered Smith to show his hands, he began firing at them as he exited the car. The officers shot and killed Smith. Smith had a history of mental illness.
This record exists so that Alonzo L. Smith, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
