Michael Neal Duncklee

How they died

Deadly force

Officers Robert Soeder and Allan Meyer responded at approx 11pm to a landlord's call that tenants who had been served an eviction notice were still in the apartment. They knocked and identified themselves, then allegedly entered through the unlocked door. Duncklee and a woman were sleeping in a bedroom. According to that woman, she and Duncklee, who was possibly hard of hearing, thought the police were intruders. When he opened the bedroom door with a stick in his hand, Meyer shot him several times and Soeder shot him twice. They also shot and injured the woman.
