At Rest

Deadly force
Around 9:15 p.m., police responded to reports of a person firing a gun and then attempting to enter a residence. When officers arrived, they found Johnny W. Dellinger Jr. outside of the home. He reportedly walked around an outbuilding and allegedly began walking toward the officer and deputy. Dellinger reportedly failed to comply with officers' commands to stop, and officers shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Johnny W. Dellinger, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
