At Rest

Deadly force
Corrections Officer Alfred John Brown saw Chavira, his on-again, off-again girlfriend with whom he had two daughters, kissing another man. He fatally stabbed her, turned himself in to a deputy and pled guilty to murder. Brown had been suspended without pay in 2004 for reportedly attacking Chavira, but he returned to his job because she did not testify against him.
This record exists so that Kathy Chavira, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
