At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Off-duty constables and officers working as security guards at a bowling alley tried to end a fight by spraying Mace at participants. Hundreds ran to avoid the fumes, fatally trampling Tilmon. The Dallas County medical examiner judged Tilmon's death an accident caused by "traumatic asphyxia."
This record exists so that Mayere Renee Tilmon, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
