How they died
Deadly force
Sgt. Dwayne Wheeler shot Fred Henderson when he allegedly drove toward the officer while trying to flee in his Lexus. At around 3:20 p.m., police said officers tried to arrest Henderson after an undercover officer bought drugs from him. Wheeler fired once, killing Henderson. A lawsuit against Maywood was settled for $500,000 in 2012. Wheeler was fired in 2009 for living outside Maywood's required boundaries. In 2010, days before he was to to be sworn-in as New Franklin's chief of police, Wheeler was arrested for DUI. Wheeler became the Kincaid police chief in January 2015 after working as an investigator for the Cook County Medical Examiner.
