Rayburn Bryant

Deadly force

After a drug raid on an apartment, Las Vegas police narcotics detectives saw a man walk to the apartment, stop, and then return to his car. Detectives chased the man, later identified as Rayburn Bryant, to his car. Detectives were standing behind it when he backed out, bumping into them. Bryant pulled forward, hitting one officer and throwing him onto the hood. Bryant started driving with him on the hood, and he fired into the car. Bryant slammed on the brakes, and the officer was thrown in front of the car. When Bryant started driving again, officers fired several times. Bryant crashed into a fence and later died at a hospital.
