How they died
Deadly force
Officer Bryan Politsch shot and killed Dwayne "Bosco" Howard after he allegedly charged at three officers while wielding a knife. According to a lawsuit filed by his family, Howard and an acquaintance had consumed cocaine and Howard experienced anxiety and paranoia related to bugs he saw in the apartment. Howard then reportedly called police for assistance. When police arrived, Howard was holding a small knife in an effort to protect himself from what he believed to be an infestation of bugs, the lawsuit stated. Politsch shot Howard twice in a stairwell in the apartment building.
