At Rest

Deadly force
County officers engaged Pearlman in her car at Point Mugu State Park with a gun in her possession. Police describe the encounter as Pearlman as suicidal and uncooperative, forcing a fatal shooting. Complaints filed by the family dispute those facts and describe one officer shooting out tires on one side of the car, causing an officer on the other side to consider himself under fire and kill the woman.
This record exists so that Nancy Pearlman, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
