How they died
Deadly force
An off-duty Detroit officer reportedly got into an argument with Omari Dixson at about 3:30 a.m. while the two were sitting in cars next to each other at a stoplight. Dixson allegedly pointed a gun at the officer, leading him to open fire. Dixson was struck four times in the back and later died. A witness said Dixson never pointed a gun. The city paid $1.5 million to Dixson's family to settle the lawsuit.
