Lawrence McCoy Jr.

How they died

Deadly force

Semi-homeless McCoy reportedly stole a cab, drove the wrong way down the MacArthur Causeway, collided with another car head-on, and emerged (according to police) "with guns blazing". He was fatally shot about 10 times. Questions later arose about whether he'd been armed or not. One of the two shooters had also controversially shot and killed Husien Shehada only four days before.
