How they died
Deadly force
A dispute broke out among an officer, Lamar, and another man. Reportedly the other man wanted to use a computer in the patrol car and the officer refused. This developed into a physical struggle where the two got the better of the officer, caught in a bear hug and punched some 20 times. The officer ended the confrontation by shooting Lamar dead. One of two Jacksonville police shootings in the same week.
