At Rest

Deadly force
Charlottesville police officers responded to reports of a sexual assault and robbery. Officers located a victim, a 72-year-old female, who had sustained non-life threatening injuries. The victim was able to provide a description of the suspect. Police then located the suspect on the Rivanna Trail, and he fled on foot at about 1:19 p.m. Police said J.C. Hawkins pointed his gun at the three officers, who shot and killed him.
This record exists so that J.C. Hawkins Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
