At Rest

Deadly force
An off-duty Harvey officer shot and killed Nigel Syers and wounded another man during what police described as an attempted robbery in Chicago. At about 1 a.m., the two men reportedly approached the officer and another man and demanded valuables. Syers allegedly drew a handgun while the man with him began taking items. The officer identified himself as police and shot Syers four times when he allegedly turned the gun toward him. The officer also shot Syers' companion once in the abdomen.
This record exists so that Nigel Syers, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
