At Rest

Deadly force
Officers were called in reference to an armed suicidal person. When officers arrived, they encountered Ervie with a knife. Police ordered Chris Ervie to drop the knife, but he refused. Police then tasered him, but he was not incapacitated, and Officer B.L. Kelly shot and killed him when Ervie again raised the knife.
This record exists so that Christopher Blair Ervie, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
