At Rest

Deadly force
Police Sgt. Phillip Brice and off-duty Detective Steve Johnston shot at Pickens shortly after he used the hatchet to rob a convenience store, police said. Police said Pickens, who still had the hatchet, refused orders to stop advancing in their direction, and they shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Douglas G. Pickens, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
