At Rest

Deadly force
Cooks was one of three bail bondsmen, masked and wearing black and bearing weapons, who unexpectedly encountered police in an apartment complex. The three were attempting to enter a bondee's unit and the bondee had called 911. Police shot Cooks to death and seriously wounded a second armed bondsmen as he rounded a corner.
This record exists so that Antonio “Tony” L. Cooks, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
