At Rest

Deadly force
Officers spotted a car with paper plates and tried to stop it, thinking the car may have been stolen, police said. When the driver of the car failed to stop, officers began a pursuit. The car stopped, and two passengers got out of the car and ran in different directions. The officers chased Snell, who was armed with a handgun, toward the back of a house on 107th Street, where police shot and killed him as he aimed the handgun.
This record exists so that Carnell Snell Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
