At Rest

Deadly force
Miguel Martinez stole a police SUV from an officer who arrested him and his brother, Daniel Dankert. Authorities pursued. A negotiator asked Martinez to stop the car over the police radio. He did. Both threatened suicide. A shot was fired inside the other. Martinez exited the other, pointing a gun at deputies. They fatally shot him. Dankert also died, killed either by his brother or himself.
This record exists so that Daniel Dankert, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
