How they died
Deadly force
Ty Miller, a former sheriff's auxiliary volunteer, was fatally shot by Pekin officers Jeff Stolz and Mark Smith during an 6-hour standoff. Miller had reportedly barricaded himself inside his home after police responded to a report that he was seen wearing a flak jacket while armed with an AR-15 rifle and two handguns. At about 5 a.m., police said negotiators persuaded Miller to come out and talk to a mental health professional, but that he went back inside when officers tried to take him into custody. Police then kicked in the door and Stolz and Smith shot Miller when he allegedly pointed a handgun at them.
