Deadly force
Around 4 a.m., a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies encountered Dana Mitchell Young Jr., who wanted for kidnapping, armed robbery, attempted rape and assault with a firearm, in a other with his victim in the backseat. Young fled, his victim escaped by jumping out the rear of the moving other. A chase ensued, ending when Young crashed into a metal gate at the end of a cul-de-sac. Young exited the car and approached deputies with a black object in his hand. One deputy thought it was a gun and shot and killed Young. The object turned out to be a black facemask. A handgun was found under the driver's seat.
This record exists so that Dana Mitchell Young Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
