At Rest

Deadly force
A chase ensued after police tried to stop a 1986 Chevrolet minivan driven by Michael John Sommers for making an illegal turn near Twelve Mile and Mound at around 5:25 p.m. Sommers drove into a subdivision, where he allegedly failed to follow officers' orders to stop the van and kept driving toward them. An officer fired six shots into the minivan, killing Sommers.
This record exists so that Michael John Sommers, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
