At Rest

Deadly force
Around 9:30 p.m., two officers were reportedly on patrol when they pulled over a other for an alleged traffic violation. The driver, D'Mario Perkins, threatened to harm himself when approached by the officers. Perkins reportedly shot himself in the head, and two officers shot him nine times. The autopsy determined Perkins died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
This record exists so that D’Mario Perkins, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
