At Rest

Deadly force
Dale Slocum was allegedly trying to rob a Dollar General store with a replica handgun. When a person tried to intervene, Slocum allegedly fatally stabbed him. Slocum fled the store still in possession of the replica handgun--a piece of wood cut in the shape of a gun and painted black. Behind the store, Slocum was confronted by Officer Jonathan Chio, who shot and killed Slocum. The shooting was ruled justified.
This record exists so that Dale Slocum, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
