Thomas Wallace

How they died

Deadly force

Neighbors were familiar with encountering Wallace. Homeless but tidy, delusional, paranoid, claiming to have a degree in marine biology (which turned out to be true), he lived in an abandoned two-story water tank. His encounter with somebody sent out to cut brush on "his" property developed into a call from the police. He refused to leave the tank. Officers entered and Wallace was shot dead within moments.

Why we remember them

This record exists so that Thomas Wallace, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
