Dennis Ray Murray Jr.

How they died

Deadly force

Murray threatened to kill a woman, saying he had two guns in the car. Authorities were called and ended up in a high speed chase with Murray. Murray stopped at his residence after deputies used road spikes to flatten his tires. Once Murray stopped at his residence, deputies ordered him out of his other. Instead, Murray pointed a gun at them, prompting two deputies to shoot at him. One of the bullets hit Murray, knocking him unconscious. A Woodville Police officer assisting in the case then approached Murray to disarm him and Murray then woke up and fired a shot at the officer and missed him. The officer then removed the gun from Murray and Murray grabbed a second rifle out of the other. The officer struggled with Murray and a third deputy then fired two shots at Murray.
