At Rest

Deadly force
Tompkins was shot once in the neck, fatally, after a high-speed chase with deputies. Tompkins was unarmed and had committed no crime other than fleeing, and choosing to "borrow" another person's license plate; unfortunately that other person was a wanted felon. The deputy's .40-caliber Glock 22 went off accidentally.
This record exists so that Nathan Tompkins, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
