How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Partee's mother went to police looking for help getting her son hospitalized. He was acting strangely. They searched for outstanding warrants, found one, and went to collect him. Partee was killed--apparently strangled--during the attempted arrest. One of the officers told the mother he was "playing possum." Legal action reached the Sixth Circuit. Partee's death, with Terrence Shurn's, caused community unrest.
