At Rest

Deadly force
Lenoir County deputies were off-duty working as security guards at a Waffle House. When they went to check the parking lot, they reported they saw Gibbs firing a gun. They ordered him to drop the gun, when he did not, Deputy Joseph Heck shot him four times, killing him.
This record exists so that William C. “Billy” Gibbs III, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
