At Rest

Deadly force
At around 10 p.m., deputies with St. Martin Parish Sheriff's Office Narcotics Division were conducting an investigation. Deputies approached Alton Davis Jr.'s other, which they believed was involved in a narcotics transaction, in the parking lot of a grocery store. Deputies shot when he allegedly placed his other in reverse and hit one of the deputies. Davis was taken to a hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries. The deputy who was hit by the car was treated for minor injuries.
This record exists so that Alton Davis Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
