At Rest

Deadly force
Officer Curtis Fish tried to arrest Begay, suspected of attempted burglary. Begay ran away. Officer Fish tried to shoot him with a stun gun as he fled. Begay drew a gun and pointed it at Officer Fish, who fatally shot him. At the time, Fish was involved in a lawsuit filed by Willie Williams. They shot at each other weeks earlier when officers trying to intervene in a burglary went to the wrong address.
This record exists so that Julian Marcus Begay, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
