Police shot and killed Austyn Cousins. When asked by media whether Cousins had actually fired any shots, police replied that they did not know. It is completely unclear why this young software engineer was killed in the dark night at 1:49 a.m. other than a police surveillance system sending police to the street and firing shots. From the time, the ShotSpotter alert was reported in the police station until the radio call that Cousins had been shot by police, only 11 minutes elapsed. Eyewitnesses and BWC footage are critically needed in this case.

Location : Unknown

City : Boise

County : ADda

State : Idaho

Agency : Boise Police Department, Ada County Critical Incident Task Force

Officer(s) : Unknown

Cause of death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during investigation

Open records summary :

The Ada County Critical Incident Task Force acted on a call that a possibly unhoused man was walking around wearing a tarp, using a cane and looking over neighborhood fences. Police responded with aggressive maneuvers, also unleashing two K9 on him. He tried to defend himself against the attacking dogs by pulling a knife and allegedly caused some unknown injury to them. Police shot and killed him. Police pointed out that 9 years ago, he had been involved in a family dispute with shots fired in which nobody was killed. This was not known to police when they killed him and trotting out this old unrelated incident bears no connection to the reasons he was killed and may serve only as distraction and to discredit him. Police have not explained why he was attacked with dogs and police guns for the stated offense of appearing unkempt and looking over fences which is not a crime.

Age :

Gender :Female

Race : Latinx

Date : 01/24/2024

Location : SR-185 U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint

City : El Paso

County : El Paso

State : Texas

Agency : CBP Border Patrol

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of death : Vehicle

Event : Killed by police chase crash

Open records summary :

A Border Patrol agent from the Las Cruces Station responded in a Mobile Video Surveillance System truck, along with another agent in a marked vehicle and a K9 handler in an unmarked unit.The K9 unit tried to traffic-stop the vehicle. At least 2 CBP units chased the vehicle. The agents admitted that they turned off their lights and sirens due to bad weather. The logic of this explanation is not clear. Police allege they briefly lost sight of the vehicle and found it crashed. This is a common explanation in police hunting migrants and other vehicles as it shifts responsibility away from officers who “lose” a vehicle they are chasing moments before a fatal crash. One Guatemalan woman died in the crash. It is unclear why police hunted the vehicle.

CBP agents in both marked and unmarked truck saw a vehicle speeding by and noticed that there was a male driver, a female passenger, and multiple passengers in the back seat sitting on top of one another, indicative of migrant smuggling. CBP chased the vehicle at high-speed and attempted multiple aggressive tactics to stop the vehicle until it finally rolled over in a crash at high speed.
