Christopher Menifee

Deadly force

Deputy Wallace Wyatt fatally shot Menifee about 10:30 p.m. as he sat in a friend's car at an apartment complex. Wyatt said he fired in self-defense because the car lunged at him. He also thought Menifee had carjacked the woman driving it, police have said. But the driver, Jessica Patterson, said she had known Menifee for about eight years and that the car did not move.
