On January 4, 1986, Corporal Leslie Bowe headed a team of four officers who were on patrol in Cutlass Bay, Cat Island.
They were on an operation aimed at disrupting drug activity.
While on patrol, the officers encountered Herbert Mackey. The officers alleged that they had information that Mackey was in possession of drugs and firearms.
Nonetheless, Mackey was unarmed. Despite this, the officers ordered Mackey into their bus, which they drove half a mile down a track road before coming to a stop.
The officers alleged that Mackey had directed them there to show them where another man had hidden drugs.
While some distance away from the bus, Bowe shot Mackey in the face.
As a result, he suffered a laceration of the nostril, lost his right eyeball and massive destruction of the right frontal and parietal lobes of the brain.
