How they died
Deadly force
Smith fled a traffic stop and apparently pulled a gun when he was shot and killed. A Milwaukee jury has acquitted a former police officer of first-degree reckless homicide in the shooting of a black man that ignited riots in the city. Jurors found that Dominique Heaggan-Brown, who is also black, was justified when he shot 23-year-old Sylville Smith after a brief foot chase following a traffic stop.
