How they died
Deadly force
According to family members, Anthony Scott and two teenaged cousins left a birthday party to buy candles and cigarettes at around 8:30 p.m. A police car followed them to the Sunoco gas station, and two officers approached Scott's Chevrolet Lumina with their weapons drawn, reportedly to confront him over alleged reckless driving. Officer Michael Reizin and another officer, who were working undercover nearby in plainclothes, responded to a request for backup. Police alleged that Scott appeared to reach for a knife in his lap (at first they said he'd gotten out of the car, but that account apparently changed). Renzin shot Scott twice. He was pronounced dead at a hospital. In 2012, the city council tentatively awarded Scott's family $1.2 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit.
