At Rest

Deadly force
Officer Cortenay Howard ate at a Taco Bell. McDaniel sat at a table near his, a blunt tucked behind his ear. Officer Howard repeatedly ordered McDaniel to approach him. McDaniel disobeyed. Officer Howard drew his pistol. McDaniel tried to flee, drawing a .380-caliber pistol as he fell over a rail. Officer Howard shot McDaniel. He died at Methodist Central Hospital. As officer-involved shootings were on the rise in Dallas, protesters used this incident and others to pressure police to explain their use of deadly force.
This record exists so that Kendrick Bernard McDaniel, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
