How they died

Deadly force

Charles was pulled over on the interstate for speeding and for an illegal window tint. When a large amount of cocaine was found in the car, some kind of violent altercation ensued. The outcome: a female passenger and a child in the car were unhurt, a deputy was slightly wounded, and Charles had been shot dead.
