At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
With a mental health history, Barnes fell into an argument with his aunt on the northern end of Honeymoon Island State Park. A park official approached him, then physically struggled with him. A deputy then arrived and tasered Barnes three times, which likely caused his death. His brother also reported severe facial injuries, with eye sockets and cheeks fractured.
This record exists so that James Clifton Barnes, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
