How they died

Deadly force

Sheriff's deputy attempted to pull Howard Edward Nevels on County Road 243 in Smith Station because the van he was driving had been reported stolen. Nevels pulled over, but then drove in the general direction of the deputy as the deputy approached. The deputy fired several times, shooting the Nevels in the head; he later died at Columbus (Ga.) Regional Medical Center. A 7-year-old boy was in the passenger seat of the van, and was unharmed.
