How they died
Deadly force
Ex-con Martins had just robbed a Cumberland Farms store, and was having trouble starting his getaway car, when a police cruiser moved in nose-to-nose to his other and trapped it. Martins rammed the cruiser at least twice; the officer in it shot him once through the torso. Martins managed to move his car a short distance before dying.
