At Rest

Deadly force
Wenzel spent ten years in prison on drug-related charges and was well known to local police. Police attempted to pull him over for warrants, but Wenzel eluded them. He was later spotted by another patrol car, and a high-speed chase ensued. Wenzel, who was unarmed, crashed his car. He then approached the first officer at the scene, who shot and killed Wenzel because he felt threatened.
This record exists so that Gary E. Wenzel, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
