Annette Clay

Deadly force

Off-duty officer Ricky Haynes shot and killed Annette Haynes, an ex-girlfriend who allegedly kicked in his door and cut his arm. Clay's family said she suffered from mental illness and had had a troubled relationship with Haynes, but doubted she would have kicked her way inside. Clay's sister said Clay had taken a bus the day before to Haynes' home to pick up her disability check. Police said Clay was seen around the building as early as 2 a.m. Just after 10 a.m., Clay went to Haynes' 17th-floor apartment, police said. Haynes, who was with another woman, refused to allow Clay inside. Clay allegedly became enraged and kicked in the door, then slashed at Haynes with a razor or box cutter before he shot her once with his service revolver.
