At Rest

Deadly force
Around 10 a.m., deputies responded to a 911 call from a mother reporting her son had stabbed her. Deputies arrived to find the woman with a cut hand. Deputies found her son, Romello Barnes outside an apartment. Barnes reportedly ran back into his apartment, and deputies followed, including one with a dog. Barnes failed to comply with their commands to drop a knife, even after the officer sicced the dog on him. Deputies Deputies Matthew Moyer, Miguel Guerra and Jamar Colon shot and killed Barnes.
This record exists so that Romello Barnes, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
