At Rest

Deadly force
A police traffic stop and foot chase ended with a gunfight that left an officer shot and a Peoria Heights man, Daniel O. El, dead, police said. Two police officers in two squad cars tried to stop El's car at about 2:30 a.m. after he had made a stop sign violation and was discovered with an expired license plate registration. He allegedly fled, crashed, and fled on foot. El was killed during an exchange of gunfire.
This record exists so that Daniel O. El, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
