Honestie Hodges, who at the age of 11 became an unintentional minor celebrity due to her unnecessary handcuffing and being held at gunpoint by the Grand Rapids, Michigan police force, dies of Covid at age 14.

Sadly there is a rule (Rule 3. e) excluding members from being included in the list, otherwise I would be delighted to oblige. You can pay me the bribe nonetheless, if you are so inclined. PM me for my account details.
