At Rest

Deadly force
When Thomas visited a girlfriend who had a protective order against him, she called the police. Officers Shane Oien and James Erickson shot and killed Thomas after he allegedly drew a handgun and fired 1-4 shots at them. A witness claims Thomas was denied medical attention. He bled to death at the scene. The officers were awarded Medals of Valor in 2002.
This record exists so that Tyrone F. Thomas, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
