How they died
Deadly force
Trooper R. Wolsey and Montgomery Deputy D. Leitner tried to corner Madeley, a suspected robber, as he drove a red Cutlass Oldsmobile. Madeley evaded them by driving into a parking lot. Chambers County Lieutenant B. Watson, off duty, tried to help. Madeley struck another deputy, T. Wade, with the Oldsmobile. Deputy Wade told bystander Jason Newsom to back his F-250 into the parking lot exit to prevent Madeley from escaping. Madeley pointed a black pellet gun at the officers. All shot at him. It is unclear who fired the fatal shot or shots.
