How they died
Deadly force
A white Honda Pilot driven by a white woman fled a traffic stop about 1:30 p.m. Officers did not pursue the other. About an hour later, police found a other matching the description. As they were towing the other, they saw a white woman on the porch. As they approached, she showed that she had a gun on her. Officers reportedly ordered her not to touch the weapon, not to make any motions toward the weapon. She reached for the weapon, and four officers--Dylan Sheets, Keith Shelton, Joshua Smith and Joseph Reynolds--shot and killed the woman, Jessie Leonard.
