How they died
Deadly force
Officers still at the Norfolk housing complex were told about a second gunshot victim inside a home in the 400 block Nicholson St. The officers at that scene reported a "large crowd" in the courtyard there and requested back up. Five uniformed officers responded. One of the officers saw a man in the crowd in a white T-shirt and blue jeans, holding a handgun. That person turned out to be Seneca Darden. An officer commanded him to drop the gun. Officer Gordon Barry then fired at Darden, who was hit "multiple times." Darden had been wearing civilian clothes because he had been working undercover in a different part of hte city. Witnesses stated that Darden was shot in the back while attempting to produce his badge.
