At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies responded to Southside Road area west of Missoula at approximately 5:30 p.m. for a report of a disturbance involving a man swinging a machete and making threats. Deputies reportedly tried to communicate with Johnny Lee Perry. After less-lethal weapons were used ineffectively to incapacitate Perry, deputies shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Johnny Lee Perry II, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
