How they died
Deadly force
Bryant was shot twice in a botched drug arrest by a plainclothes member of Hartford's "Violent Crime Impact Team" working with a BATF special agent. The officers observed Bryant and companion Brandon Henry together in a car, and perceived a weapon and drug activity. Bryant was killed with two shots to the head; Henry wounded. The Hartford officer was criminally charged although acquitted. The DOJ opened a civil rights investigation and other national attention. And the city settled with Bryant's family in 2012 for $1.625M.
