On December 5, 1997, Officer Daniel J. Pope, 35, and Spc. Ronald D. Jeter, 34,
were in the middle of their 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. shift when they went to a Clifton Heights
apartment to serve a warrant on Alonzo Davenport.
Their guns were still in their holsters, and they apparently never had a chance to fire
back when they were shot in the head at close range.
