Henry Lawrence Brooks

Suicide

Brooks ran into a shed in the backyard of a residence. Constable's Deputy Carl Smith of Precinct 5 called authorities. Officers M.B. Parker, G. Ortiz and Arny responded. Brooks shot himself in the head with a .380-caliber pistol. Earlier that day, Officers Parker and Ortiz had responded to a complaint in which a man, possibly Brooks, had run away from authorities.
