At Rest

Deadly force
About 7:45 p.m., Edward Nicholas Bittner was a passenger in a other that an officer had pulled over on U.S. 90 for having a missing headlight and changing lanes without signaling. After the car stopped, Bittner got out and ran toward the on-ramp to the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10. At some point, Bittner came back toward the car, and the officer shot and killed him. Bittner allegedly had a knife with a 4-inch blade, but it was not reported whether it was in his hand or his pocket.
This record exists so that Edward Nicholas Bittner, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
