Suicide
Police were chasing Brandon Shockley, who was wanted for attempted homicide and was reportedly armed. Police used stop sticks near the Indiana/Illinois state line, causing Shockley to get a flat tire, and leaving the road into a ditch. Officers from Indiana gave commands to Shockley and reportedly heard a gunshot fired from inside his car. A Vigo County deputy and a West Terre Haute police officer fired their weapons at Shockley's car. When police got to his car, they found him dead in the driver's seat with a gun. An autopsy ruled Shockley's cause of death was a self-inflicted gunshot to the head.
This record exists so that Brandon Lee Shockley Sr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
