| Jeff Carlson and Steve Winkel
November 27, 1998 and December 5, 1998
Minneapolis
On November 27, 1998, Carlson, age 23, and Winkel, age 27, were driving in Steve’s pick up truck when Minneapolis police officer Douglas Leiter ran a red light and crashed into the truck. Leiter was apparently in pursuit of a burglary suspect but his squad car did not have lights or siren on at the time of the accident. Jeff died immediately; Steve’s family removed him from life support eight days later.
