At Rest

Deadly force
Police officers stopped the car Wilson was riding in after witnessing a suspected drug transaction, on the technicality of a traffic violation. When police ordered the four individuals in the car to exit, Wilson refused several times. Reportedly Wilson reached for a revolver and shot at officers, who responded firing 22 shots, 8 of which struck Wilson. A toxicology analysis indicated that Wilson had cocaine, hydrocodone, methadone, oxycodone and a small amount of alcohol in his system at his time of death.
This record exists so that Jason A. Wilson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
