How they died
Deadly force
Two local police responding to a shots-fired call tried to arrest Pittman, and said they detected a weapon in his waistband. Pittman broke away, reported turned back toward the police, and was shot to death. In October 2004 Pittman had been cuffed and beaten unconscious by a JSO officer, who later left the force after his role in the December 2004 death of Sammy Lee Evans. For the October 2004 incident Pittman's parents had been awarded $47,000.
