At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Sheriff's deputies took Ross Alan Rittacco to a hospital in Gaffney, South Carolina. The detainee started fighting with a deputy around 1 a.m., and the security officers from the hospital assisted medical staff and the detention officer tasered him. At about 2 a.m. he became unresponsive, and died.
This record exists so that Ross Alan Rittacco, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
