14	Anthony Beavers	June 9, 2000	MO	Anthony Beavers reportedly died following a struggle with deputies.

"He was doing something odd. He was on all fours shaking his head," Doerge said. "Apparently he had run in some 90-degree weather, possibly two or more miles." When deputies arrived, there was reportedly a short scuffle during which mace, nunchucks and a baton were used to subdue McKeehan, who bit a deputy's finger and wouldn't let go despite being hit in the head. As deputies handcuffed McKeehan, he became unconscious. McKeehan was pronounced dead at a hospital. The cause of death was eventually determined to be the result of a heart attack brought on by exertion and "methamphetamine induced paranoia." The deputies were cleared in McKeehan's death.
20	Joseph Howard Jr.	July 29, 2000	MO	Joseph Howard Jr. was killed when his vehicle was struck by an allegedly stolen truck fleeing police. The pursuit began when two officers saw a Dodge Ram stopped at a red light at 63rd Street and I-435 and recognized the truck as the one whose driver had eluded police earlier by turning off the headlights and driving into Swope Park. According to officials, the officers remained a few car lengths behind the truck as it continued east on 63rd Street. The officers were joined by a second police car. Neither police car had its lights or sirens on. As the truck passed James A. Reed Road, the driver turned off the headlights and sped away, running a red light on the west side of the MO-350 overpass. The truck then ran a second red light on the east side of the overpass and collided with Howard's vehicle, which flipped over and came to rest on its side in the grass median. Howard died at a hospital. Howard's 12-year-old son suffered several non-life-threatening injuries. The officers said they did not chase the truck because ir would have violated the department's recently enacted pursuit policy.

25	Steven Brown	September 5, 2000	MO	Steven Brown reportedly collapsed and died after fighting with several officers following a foot chase. Police were called to Brown's home on Ashwell Drive, but no one was there.

Officers caught Brown and said that he thrashed around as they tried to take him into custody. A police spokesman said Brown displayed "unusual strength," requiring multiple officers to subdue him, but that they didn't hit him with batons or other objects. Brown's mother said she went to the morgue to view her son's body. "His face was all beat up with knots and bruises all over," she said. "It looked like somebody beat the hell out of him. "The police said he ran into a fence, twice, and fell down." Dr. Phillip Burch, who performed the autopsy, said he couldn't determine a cause of death until completion of toxicology tests. "There were numerous signs of blunt trauma—contusions, lacerations, abrasions—about the head and face, but they were too superficial to cause his death," Burch said. According to his mother, Brown had probably taken LSD, which caused his irrational behavior.
