At Rest

Deadly force
An undercover DEA agent shot and killed Champommier at a San Fernando valley strip mall. Champommier had no way of knowing the agents were law enforcement, and he attempted to drive away when one of the agents stepped in front of his car, thus setting up a "deadly force" situation. A U.S. Attorney called the shooting justified. In August 2013 a judge awarded the family a $3M settlement.
This record exists so that Zachary Champommier, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
