Dawson was wanted by police for a string of drug offenses and auto thefts. In the previous few days, he'd led officers on two high-speed chases and had promised not to be taken alive. Local police cornered him at a TraveLodge at 2 a.m. and shot him a total of 19 times, 17 of those in the back. One of the involved officers had killed another suspect, Mark Anthony Russell, in the same motel in August 2000, and received awards for both incidents.
