How they died
Deadly force
A complainant filled out an offense report for Deputy Garrett Burleson. Davis approached the two and shouted at them. Deputy Burleson tried to calm Davis down. Davis punched Deputy Burleson, who tripped over the edge of a flower bed. Davis jumped on Deputy Burleson's back and choked him. Deputy Burleson pepper-sprayed Davis. Davis squeezed harder. Deputy Burleson suddenly felt the pressure on his neck release, drew his gun and shot Davis twice, killing him.
