How they died
Deadly force
Ball was being tried for murder and armed robbery. Just as his conviction was announced in the courtroom, Ball leapt from his seat and attempted to smash a window to escape. As two sheriff's deputies tried to capture him, Ball grabbed one of their weapons and wounded one in the leg. A Milwaukee police officer shot and killed him.
