His Death

While house-sitting for a fellow club member, three unmarked vehicles pulled up and 8 - 12 armed men dressed in black rushed Hale who was sitting outside on the porch. Witnesses state that the officers had no police insignia on their cars or clothing and never announced themselves as police officers.

He was tasered three times as officer ordered him to raise his hands. The electric shocks had incapacitated Hale on the ground to the point he was twitching, convulsing and vomiting.

Lt. William Browne of the Wilmington Police then fired 3 shots into his chest at point blank range.
