How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Howe was beaten to death by officers at a sobriety checkpoint staffed by about 20 officers from multiple agencies, in a series of events where the official explanations differed radically from reports from eyewitnesses. Moreover the checkpoint was coincidentally set up near Eagle-Tribune newspaper offices. Their photographer's evidence also contradicted the police story. In November 2012 Howe's family settled for $1.6M.
