How they died

Deadly force

Karen was visiting her husband and seeking reconciliation after an order of protection had been sought. Her husband, Derek Jackson called 911 saying not an emergency but needed clarification about how to void the order. The police came, Derek told them she had mental issues and they arrived at the house and shot Karen in 40 seconds. They claimed she was stabbing herself with a knife and had an empty liquor bottle and beer can in her hands. Karen was disabled and used a hoverround and couldn't pick up her small grandkids.
