At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies responded to a call of a man with a gun inside a Shell Gas Station at around 4 p.m. Daniel Messmer was allegedly armed with a handgun and appeared to be intoxicated. When deputies arrived, they found Messmer in a desert area east of the gas station armed with a handgun. After being told to drop his weapon, Messmer failed to comply and allegedly pointed his gun at the deputies, who shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Daniel David Messmer, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
