At Rest

Deadly force
Police arrived in front of an apartment building to answer a disturbance call. Inside, tenant Alexander McDonald was allegedly stabbing Liiam Mulligan. Bleeding profusely, Mulligan and his friend John Winkler ran out of apartment building where police were waiting outside. Thinking Mulligan was being chased by Winkler, police opened fire, killing Winkler and injuring Mulligan. While no officers were charged with wrongdoing, Winkler's family was awarded a $5 million wrongful death lawsuit.
This record exists so that John Winkler, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
