Age :21

Gender :Male

Race : Black

Date : 09/03/2024

Location : The Magnolia at Auburn apartments on Longleaf Drive

City : Auburn

County : Lee

State : Alabama

Agency : Auburn Police Department

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police after armed entry into apartment

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Auburn PD received a call about a man forcing his way into an apartment. Police arrived and shot and killed him, stating he had been armed. Strangely, the report specifically includes language that the officer’s actions which resulted in Young’s death were not motivated by “hate bias.” Source of this info is theplainsman.com link below.

The police story is very vague so far, not distinguishing whether this was an armed hostile residential burglary type entry or whether it perhaps was what police refer to as “disturbance call” and a familiar person is not wanted but not violent or causing harm and police are requested to escort them out. There have been no press conferences or updates in the first days after the killing. Police state that he "had a gun.” It is not known whether he produced it or threatened anyone or whether it was in his pocket. ALEA is investigating the killing. The agency is not known for transparency. Any updates that may become available will be posted here.

Event : Killed by police after car crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Metro Police were called to a car crash in the 2500 block of Marion Berry Avenue SE in DC. A man had crashed into a McDonald’s and was knocked unconscious by the crash. The man began moving in the vehicle and police alleged that he picked up a gun. They shot and killed him.

His sister viewed the bodycam and said that he was just waking up with a gun inches from his face and may have defensively reached to push it out of the way when the officer yelled “I will shoot you in your fucking face” and fired, killing him.

The bodycam was released on 9/11/2024 and protests erupted in DC.
