How they died

Deadly force

Martin had pulled up to the keypad of a condominium security gate when two deputies approached his car, a vintage 1964 Impala. It had been stolen. Martin threw the car into reverse and tried to run them down. They opened fire, as Martin crashed forward through the gates and snapped a palm tree in half. He died at the scene.
