Search fatalities

On 08/06/2026, law enforcement officers responded in the morning to a residence in the 300 block of Hazel Boulevard in Millville following a reported domestic disturbance involving 47-year-old Shaun Murphy. Officers surrounded the residence, and neighbors described the police presence developing into a standoff lasting several hours.

Neighbors reported seeing officers positioned around the property with firearms drawn. Police used a loudspeaker to communicate with someone inside the house, asking the person to come outside and indicating that they wanted to make sure he was OK. One neighbor said police arrived at approximately 8 a.m.; the situation continued until around 1 p.m., when emergency medical personnel arrived and the atmosphere at the scene abruptly changed.

During an encounter with Murphy inside the residence, Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office Sgt. John Borelli fired his department-issued firearm, striking Murphy. Murphy was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators recovered a handgun from the residence.

The New Jersey Attorney General's Office is investigating Murphy's killing under the state law requiring the Attorney General to investigate deaths occurring during encounters with law enforcement. As of 08/08/2026, investigators have released Murphy's and Borelli's identities but have not released a detailed reconstruction of the shooting.

On 08/06/2026, Richland County Sheriff's Department deputies attempted to stop a silver Chevrolet sedan on Lorenzo Davis Road at approximately 1:30 p.m. because the vehicle had a suspended license plate. The driver continued driving away while deputies pursued. The pursuit ended when the Chevrolet crashed near the intersection of Leesburg Road and Harmon Road, in the 4800 block of Leesburg Road. Ja’Sean Fritz and three other people left the crashed vehicle and ran into a wooded area. Deputies established a search operation and K-9 teams began tracking them.

Deputies searching the crashed vehicle reported finding a rifle, ammunition, drugs and a modified handgun. Fritz was also wanted by authorities in Orangeburg County on murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and conspiracy charges connected with a 07/30/2026 shooting on Felder Street in Orangeburg.

Nearly two hours after the crash, deputies tracking the group through the woods encountered Fritz. According to Sheriff Leon Lott, Fritz fired at deputies and deputies returned fire, striking him. Fritz died from the gunshot wounds. Lott repeatedly stated during a subsequent press conference that Fritz fired first. However, when reporters asked to see the deputies' body-camera footage to corroborate the department's account, Lott declined to release or show the footage.

Three other people who had fled from the crashed vehicle were subsequently located and arrested. The Sheriff's Department released dash-camera footage showing the initial vehicle pursuit and a photograph of the crash, but as of 08/08/2026 had not publicly released the body-camera recordings of Fritz's fatal encounter. The names of the deputies who fired at Fritz have also not been publicly disclosed in the reporting located so far. The solicitor's office is expected to review the shooting and determine whether the deputies' use of deadly force was legally justified.

NARRATIVE:
On 08/06/2026, 55-year-old Matthew Norman of Rush City, Minnesota, drowned in the St. Croix River after Chisago County sheriff's deputies attempted to arrest him on an outstanding felony warrant and pursued him by vehicle to the river. His body was recovered downstream the following morning.
.
At approximately 5:56 p.m., Chisago County sheriff's deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle Norman was driving because he had an outstanding felony warrant in Chisago County. Norman drove away and deputies initiated a vehicle pursuit.
.
The pursuit continued to Railroad Landing on the St. Croix River. Norman drove down the boat ramp and drove his vehicle directly into the river. Deputies pursuing him saw Norman get out of the vehicle after it entered the water and begin swimming away from them.
.
Deputies eventually lost sight of Norman in the river. Multiple agencies launched an extensive search using ground and air resources, and the operation continued through the night.
.
Shortly after 9:00 a.m. on 08/07/2026, Chisago County Water Patrol deputies located Norman's body approximately one-eighth of a mile downstream from the location where his vehicle had entered the St. Croix River. Authorities subsequently publicly identified the dead man as Matthew Norman of Rush City.
.
Norman's death followed a continuous police encounter beginning with deputies attempting to take him into custody on the felony warrant, followed by a vehicle pursuit, Norman driving into the river, and his attempt to escape the pursuing deputies by swimming away. Although a vehicle pursuit directly preceded the death, Norman did not die from crash injuries; the fatal mechanism was drowning after he entered the St. Croix River.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
The Chisago County Sheriff's Office did not publicly identify the deputy or deputies who attempted to stop Norman or pursued him to Railroad Landing.

On 08/05/2026, members of the Kent Police Department, Tacoma Police Department, and Valley SWAT responded to a residence near 253rd Place SE and 139th Place SE in Kent to arrest a 20-year-old man wanted in connection with two violent crimes. Investigators said he was wanted in connection with a shooting involving Tacoma police near a Walmart the previous evening and an armed robbery that had occurred in Kent on 04/24/2026.

Officers surrounded the residence at approximately 3:00 p.m. after determining the man was inside. Crisis negotiators and SWAT officers attempted to persuade him to surrender peacefully. Nearby residents were advised to avoid the area while police secured the neighborhood and continued negotiations.

During the hours-long standoff, the man remained barricaded inside the residence and refused to surrender. Before officers entered the home, he died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police did not fire their weapons during the incident. After SWAT officers entered the residence, they located him dead inside.

Kent police stated the man had been identified as a suspect in a drive-by shooting involving Tacoma police officers on 08/04/2026. According to investigators, Tacoma officers had attempted to arrest a shoplifting suspect outside a Walmart when gunfire was fired from a vehicle associated with the 20-year-old. No officers were struck in that incident. Authorities also linked him to an armed robbery that occurred in Kent earlier in the year.

The King County Medical Examiner's Office will determine the official cause and manner of death. As of the latest reporting, authorities had not released the man's identity pending notification of next of kin. The investigations into both the Tacoma shooting and the Kent armed robbery remain ongoing.

On 08/05/2026, Carroll County Sheriff's Office deputies observed a 2013 GMC Acadia traveling eastbound on Maryland Route 26 near Oakland Mills Road at approximately 81 mph in a 45-mph zone. Deputies attempted a traffic stop for the speeding violation, and 17-year-old Angel Callejas Fuentes continued driving away while deputies pursued.

During the pursuit, the GMC reached speeds approaching 100 mph while traveling east toward Baltimore County. Carroll County deputies terminated the pursuit in the area of Route 26 and Holbrook Road as the vehicle entered Baltimore County.

At approximately 11:14 p.m., after the Carroll County deputies had terminated the pursuit, the GMC was traveling east on Liberty Road in Randallstown when it left the roadway near Lyon Mills Road and struck a tree. Callejas Fuentes was critically injured and transported to a hospital, where he died. Two juvenile passengers, one riding in the front seat and one in the rear, were transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center with life-threatening injuries.

After learning about the fatal crash, Carroll County deputies returned to Route 26 and confirmed that the GMC involved in the Randallstown collision was the same vehicle they had pursued. The Sheriff's Office reviewed its in-car camera footage documenting the pursuit and its termination but declined to publicly release the recording.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office contacted the Maryland Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division regarding the death. After reviewing the circumstances, the IID declined to investigate. Baltimore County Police are investigating the fatal crash.

On 08/05/2026, shortly after 3:00 p.m., a San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department detective was conducting what the department described as a follow-up criminal investigation near Avenue R and 130th Street East in the Littlerock area east of Palmdale. Authorities have not publicly disclosed what crime the detective was investigating or why he contacted the man who was subsequently killed.

During the encounter, the detective and the man exchanged gunfire. Both were struck. The man died at the scene, while the detective suffered a gunshot wound just below his rib cage and was airlifted to Antelope Valley Medical Center. He underwent surgery and was subsequently reported in stable condition and expected to recover. Sheriff Shannon Dicus described the detective as being in his 30s and a 12-year veteran of the department.

Video from the scene showed a white SUV with shattered windows and apparent bullet strikes. Propane tanks and what appeared to be a long gun were visible inside the SUV. An unmarked San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department vehicle also showed apparent gunfire damage. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said investigators recovered a weapon from the dead man's vehicle.

Authorities have not yet released a detailed reconstruction explaining what initiated the gunfire, who fired first, how many rounds each person fired, or the precise circumstances under which the detective shot the man. The identity of the man killed and the identity of the San Bernardino County detective have not been publicly released in the reporting located as of 08/08/2026.

Because the shooting occurred in Los Angeles County rather than San Bernardino County, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is conducting the investigation into the fatal encounter.

On 08/05/2026, shortly after 8:00 p.m., Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a home in the 2900 block of Hope Valley Street in unincorporated West Palm Beach after the mother of an 18-year-old man requested a welfare check. According to Sheriff Ric Bradshaw, the mother told authorities that her son was acting strangely and irrationally and that she believed he had taken an unknown substance.

At approximately 8:15 p.m., two deputies arrived and heard screaming from inside the home. They entered through the front door and encountered the 18-year-old in a physical struggle with his mother and father while holding a kitchen or butcher knife with an approximately five-inch blade. According to Bradshaw, the father and son were struggling for control of the knife.

Deputies ordered the 18-year-old to drop the knife. One deputy deployed a Taser, but it did not stop him. According to the Sheriff's Office account, the struggle continued and the 18-year-old eventually had his father pinned on the ground while still holding the knife. Bradshaw said he appeared positioned to stab his father. The second deputy then fired three shots, striking the 18-year-old in the torso. The entire encounter from the deputies entering the home until the shooting reportedly lasted approximately 90 seconds.

Deputies provided medical aid until Palm Beach County Fire Rescue arrived. The 18-year-old was transported to a hospital, where he died from his gunshot wounds. His father was also hospitalized with a hand injury sustained during the struggle.

The Sheriff's Office has not publicly identified the 18-year-old, citing Marsy's Law. The deputy who fired the three shots and the deputy who deployed the Taser also have not been publicly identified in the reporting located. Both deputies were placed on administrative leave. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office and PBSO Violent Crimes Division are investigating the killing.

On 08/04/2026, at approximately 1:00 a.m., Round Rock Police Department officers responded to a residence in the 2800 block of Phoenix Way after a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds escaped the house, went to a neighbor for help and called 911. She told dispatchers that another person remained inside the residence with her husband. Police later identified the man killed by police as 20-year-old Reece Ababao and identified the two stabbing victims as his parents.
When officers arrived, they heard a man yelling for help from inside the residence. Officers announced themselves and forced entry through the front door. Police said they encountered Ababao armed with a knife. Officer Dillon Rizzo fired his gun, striking Ababao. Officers then located Ababao's injured father inside the residence.
Ababao and both of his parents were transported to hospitals. Ababao died from his gunshot wounds. His parents remained hospitalized in critical condition following the stabbing.
Round Rock Police identified the officer who shot Ababao as Dillon Rizzo, who has served with the department since 2017. Rizzo was placed on administrative leave following the shooting. Rizzo had previously fired his weapon during a 05/07/2022 Round Rock police shooting involving Henry Tolentino. In that incident, Rizzo was one of five Round Rock officers who fired their weapons after police reported Tolentino opened fire at officers.
Ababao had previous encounters with Round Rock police involving family violence, and officers had previously responded to the Phoenix Way residence. Less than two weeks before his death, he had been arrested on an allegation of assault causing bodily injury to a family member.
The Texas Rangers are investigating Rizzo's fatal shooting of Ababao, with the Round Rock Police Department and Williamson County District Attorney's Office also involved in the investigation.

On 08/04/2026, Baytown Police Department officers attempted to arrest 33-year-old Jason Satchell during a traffic stop in the 4300 block of Crosby-Cedar Bayou Road near Jenkins Park. Satchell was wanted by the Chambers County Sheriff's Office on an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon warrant.

According to investigators, Satchell and another person inside the vehicle refused officers' commands after the stop. Officers deployed pepper-ball munitions and a police K-9 in an effort to take the occupants into custody. One person was arrested without further incident, while Satchell climbed into the trunk of the vehicle and remained inside as officers attempted to gain control of the situation.

When officers were able to open the trunk, they found Satchell unconscious and suffering what police described as a medical emergency. Officers immediately began rendering medical aid and requested emergency medical services. Satchell was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Baytown police stated that no officer discharged a firearm during the incident.

The Baytown Police Department requested an independent investigation into the in-custody death. Authorities stated that the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences would determine the official cause and manner of death through an autopsy. As of the latest reporting, investigators had not announced what caused Satchell to lose consciousness while inside the trunk, and the circumstances surrounding his death remain under investigation.

On 08/04/2026, at approximately 3:30 a.m., Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to the 1100 block of East Harmon Avenue near University Center Drive after receiving reports of a man who appeared intoxicated and was waving a firearm. The man was later identified by the Clark County Coroner's Office as 21-year-old Angel Tywan Lucas Lindsey.

According to Sheriff Kevin McMahill, Lindsey was sitting on a curb when two officers arrived. Police said Lindsey immediately pulled out a handgun and opened fire at the officers. One of the officers, 29-year-old LVMPD Officer Blake McNair, was struck multiple times. McNair's partner returned fire, striking Lindsey.

McNair and Lindsey were both transported to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center. Lindsey died from his gunshot wounds. The Clark County Coroner's Office subsequently identified him and ruled his death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds.

McNair also died at the hospital. He had served with LVMPD since 2023 and was assigned to the South Central Area Command. Before joining the department, McNair served in the United States Marine Corps. His death was the first fatal shooting of an on-duty LVMPD officer since 2009.

Police recovered a handgun at the scene. Although Lindsey was reportedly the subject of the original armed-person call, the publicly available reporting reviewed does not establish through toxicology that he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time; the intoxication description originated with the initial caller.

LVMPD has not yet publicly identified the officer who shot Lindsey in the sources provided and reviewed. The department said its Critical Incident Review Team and Force Investigation Team are investigating the encounter. Body-camera footage and a more detailed reconstruction of the shooting are expected to be released under LVMPD's critical-incident disclosure process.

On 08/02/2026, Reggie Pederson, 66, was killed in Memphis when a driver being pursued by a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper crashed into Pederson’s vehicle at the intersection of Airways Boulevard and Park Avenue. Pederson had no involvement in the police pursuit and was traveling independently when the pursuit entered the intersection.

The pursuit began after a Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper conducting traffic enforcement on Airways Boulevard clocked a vehicle traveling nearly 90 mph in a posted 40 mph zone. This excessive speed was the documented initiating reason for the attempted stop and subsequent pursuit. The trooper caught up with the vehicle near Airways Boulevard and Ketchum Road.

According to court records and the trooper’s account, the driver continued driving away while the trooper pursued. Police alleged that the driver traveled at speeds too fast for road conditions, crossed into lanes of oncoming traffic and drove through multiple red lights as the pursuit continued along Airways Boulevard.

The pursuit proceeded north along Airways toward Park Avenue, a major urban intersection surrounded by businesses, residential neighborhoods and regular cross traffic. According to court records, the pursued vehicle entered the intersection of Airways Boulevard and Park Avenue against a red traffic signal and crashed into Pederson’s vehicle. The collision killed Pederson.

A 6-year-old child was inside the pursued vehicle during the chase and crash. The child suffered a traumatic head injury and a severe tongue injury and was transported to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.

The driver survived the crash and was hospitalized. Court records subsequently showed that he had been released on bond only weeks earlier following a separate July 2026 encounter involving Memphis police and Tennessee state troopers. On July 4, Memphis Police Department officers attempted a traffic stop and the driver allegedly drove away. Approximately 30 minutes later, Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers located him, pursued him and arrested him on an allegation of vehicle theft. He posted bond six days later.

The earlier pursuit is relevant to the circumstances surrounding Pederson’s death because the August 2 pursuit occurred while the driver remained on bond from that July case. Following the fatal August crash, he was held in the hospital's prison ward and a $250,000 bail was set.

Pederson was a Memphis photographer whose work documented musicians, artists, live performances and people throughout the city. He also worked professionally in facilities/project management. His photography had become familiar within Memphis' arts and music communities. Friends and fellow photographers remembered him as supportive of other photographers and particularly skilled at photographing people. Photographer Joel Rose said Pederson had a genuine love of people that was visible in his photographs, while photographer David Johnson described him as an encouraging presence in the local photography community.

Pederson's death occurred amid substantial scrutiny of Tennessee Highway Patrol's pursuit practices in Memphis. Investigative reporting earlier in 2026 examined 75 vehicle pursuits associated with the Memphis Safe Task Force during its first five weeks of operation. Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers conducted 66 of those pursuits, or 88 percent. Forty-three percent of the task force pursuits examined by reporters resulted in crashes.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol's written vehicle-pursuit policy has also become a significant transparency issue. The Institute for Public Service Reporting sought the policy under the Tennessee Public Records Act, but state officials declined to release it, asserting that the policy was exempt from public disclosure. This prevents the public from directly comparing a particular trooper's decision to initiate, continue or terminate a pursuit with THP's own written pursuit standards.

The records most important to determining the complete circumstances of Pederson's death include the identity of the initiating and pursuing trooper; THP dash-camera and body-camera recordings; the complete pursuit radio traffic; dispatch/CAD records; GPS and vehicle-speed data from the THP cruiser; the trooper's pursuit and incident reports; any supervisory pursuit authorization or monitoring records; any orders to continue or terminate the pursuit; crash reconstruction records; Tennessee Highway Patrol fatal-crash reports; intersection or traffic-camera video from Airways Boulevard and Park Avenue; nearby business surveillance video; 911 calls; and any post-pursuit administrative or internal review.

Those records are particularly important for establishing the exact pursuit duration and distance, the trooper's speed, the distance between the patrol vehicle and pursued vehicle at the time of the collision, whether additional THP units joined the pursuit, whether supervisors were monitoring it, whether the pursuit was ever ordered terminated or modified, whether emergency lights and siren were continuously activated, and what information concerning the presence of other motorists and the driver's increasingly dangerous conduct was communicated before the fatal collision.

The pursuing trooper's identity has not been publicly disclosed in the reporting located to date.

On 08/01/2026, at approximately 7:33 p.m., a Freestone County Sheriff's Office deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle. The driver continued driving away while police pursued. According to Sheriff Jeremy Shipley, the pursuit lasted approximately 26 minutes and reached speeds exceeding 125 mph on rural highways in Freestone County.
The pursuit ended on Farm-to-Market Road 488, approximately three miles north of Fairfield, after Green pulled his vehicle onto the shoulder of the roadway. Deputies reported that a physical confrontation occurred after the man exited the vehicle. During that encounter, a deputy fired his weapon, striking him. Deputies immediately requested emergency medical assistance, but he died at the scene. No deputies or assisting Texas Department of Public Safety troopers were injured.
The Texas Rangers assumed responsibility for the investigation into the fatal shooting, which is standard procedure for officer-involved shootings in Texas. Investigators are reviewing the circumstances surrounding both the high-speed pursuit and the physical altercation that immediately preceded the use of deadly force. Authorities have not publicly described what occurred during the struggle, whether he was armed, or what actions prompted the deputy to fire. The deputy's identity has not been released.
The Freestone County Sheriff's Office has not disclosed the reason for the initial traffic stop or whether Green was wanted on any outstanding warrants. As of the latest reporting, the Texas Rangers' investigation remains ongoing, and no additional findings have been released.

On 08/01/2026, at approximately 7:45 p.m., San Antonio Police Department officers responded to the 600 block of Aurora Avenue after a 911 caller reported that a man was standing in his front yard waving a handgun. Officers encountered the 69-year-old man and repeatedly ordered him to drop the weapon. According to police, the man briefly appeared as though he might comply but continued holding the handgun. Five officers then opened fire, fatally wounding him. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators reported that the handgun recovered at the scene was loaded and that there is no evidence the man fired the weapon. The officers were placed on administrative duty pending separate criminal and administrative investigations. On 08/03/2026, the department identified the involved officers as Joshua Rodriguez, Aldamaris Flores, John Reyes, Luis Cortes Garcia, and Richard Julien. The officers had between less than one year and less than five years of service with the department.

On 08/01/2026, at approximately 10:50 p.m., Gilbert Police officers responded to an unknown trouble call at a residential property near Lindsay Road and Elliot Road. The caller reported that a person living in a detached structure on the property had been stabbed and provided a description of the alleged assailant.
Officers entered the property, which contained multiple residences and outbuildings. As they approached one of the structures, they heard a woman screaming. Officers encountered 28-year-old Brett Eschliman, who fled deeper into the residence. Inside, officers found multiple stabbing victims and pursued Eschliman into a bedroom, where officers shot him. Eschliman was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators later identified the stabbing victims as 32-year-old Delaney Bristow and 30-year-old Caleb Worley, both of whom died from their injuries. A 29-year-old woman survived the attack with non-life-threatening injuries. Police stated Eschliman knew the victims, lived on the property, and detectives believe the violence was an isolated incident.
The Mesa Police Department, acting through the East Valley Critical Incident Response Team, is conducting the investigation into the fatal police shooting. Gilbert Police have not released the identities of the officers who fired their weapons

On 08/01/2026, at approximately 2:30 p.m., Chad Williams opened fire with an AR-style rifle in and around the In-N-Out Burger shopping area on Washington Street North, killing three people and wounding seven others. Witnesses and investigators reported that an armed citizen and an off-duty Idaho State Police trooper returned fire, forcing Williams to move and likely preventing additional casualties. Police searched the commercial area, evacuated nearby businesses, and established a large perimeter. Officers later found Williams dead near the restaurant from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks confirmed Williams acted alone. The FBI, ATF, and Twin Falls Police Department continue to investigate the motive and the circumstances surrounding the attack.

On 08/01/2026, at approximately 1:10 a.m., Anchorage Police Department Officer Kaden Pohl was driving a marked patrol vehicle westbound while responding to a call for service. Pohl entered the intersection of 36th Avenue and A Street as 68-year-old Cemal Sadiku drove a taxicab northbound through the same intersection. The police vehicle and taxicab collided near the middle of the intersection with sufficient force that both vehicles caught fire.

Sadiku, who was driving the taxi, died at the scene. His front-seat passenger, 45-year-old William Phillips, also died. Three passengers seated in the rear of the taxi survived and were transported to a hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Pohl was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and was released by August 3.

Police Chief Sean Case said Pohl’s emergency lights were activated while he was responding to the call. Case said investigators still needed to determine whether the patrol vehicle’s siren was operating. APD has not publicly identified the nature or urgency of the call, Pohl’s speed, which vehicle had the traffic signal, or the precise sequence that placed both vehicles in the intersection. The department opened both a traffic investigation and an internal investigation into Pohl’s driving. The case number is 26-20211.

Pohl joined APD in December 2020. Approximately six weeks before Sadiku’s death, Pohl fatally shot 33-year-old Deandrea Robertson during a June 16, 2026 encounter inside the loss-prevention office at the Walmart on Old Seward Highway. Police had entered the confined room for a reported retail theft. During a struggle involving Robertson and three officers, Robertson produced a concealed handgun and fired. One bullet wounded Officer Trevor Amburn in the leg, and another struck Pohl’s ballistic plate. Pohl then fired and killed Robertson. Officer Tae Yoon suffered hearing damage and temporary vision impairment from the gunfire. Pohl was placed on four days of administrative leave under department policy and had returned to duty before the August 1 fatal crash. The Alaska Office of Special Prosecutions was reviewing that shooting when the traffic collision occurred.

Pohl was also named in a 2023 federal civil-rights lawsuit filed by Brenda Boudreau concerning a February 19, 2023 traffic stop. Boudreau alleged that officers broke her vehicle window, forcibly removed and handcuffed her, searched her and impounded her vehicle without lawful grounds. The claims against Pohl and the other officers were dismissed with prejudice in August 2025; the dismissal was not a finding that Pohl had committed misconduct.

On 08/01/2026, at approximately 1:10 a.m., Anchorage Police Department Officer Kaden Pohl was driving a marked patrol vehicle westbound while responding to a call for service. At the intersection of 36th Avenue and A Street, Pohl’s police vehicle collided with a northbound taxicab driven by 68-year-old Cemal Sadiku. The vehicles met near the middle of the intersection and both caught fire after the impact.

Forty-five-year-old William Phillips was riding in the front passenger seat of the taxi and died at the scene. Sadiku also died. Three passengers seated in the rear of the taxi survived and were transported to a hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Pohl was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and was released by August 3.

Police Chief Sean Case said Pohl had activated the patrol vehicle’s emergency lights while traveling to the call. Case said investigators had not yet determined whether Pohl was using the siren. APD has not publicly disclosed the type or priority of call, Pohl’s speed, the traffic-light sequence or which driver had the right of way. Investigators are examining the vehicles, available electronic and roadway evidence and the circumstances under which Pohl entered the intersection. APD opened a traffic investigation and a separate internal investigation. The case number is 26-20211.

Pohl had served with APD since December 2020. On June 16, 2026, approximately six weeks before Phillips was killed, Pohl fatally shot 33-year-old Deandrea Robertson inside a confined loss-prevention office at the Walmart on Old Seward Highway. Officers had responded to a reported retail theft. During a struggle involving Robertson and three officers, Robertson drew a concealed handgun and fired. Officer Trevor Amburn was wounded in the leg, and another bullet struck the ballistic plate in Pohl’s vest. Pohl fired and killed Robertson. A third officer, Tae Yoon, suffered hearing damage and temporary vision impairment. Pohl was placed on four days of administrative leave and returned to duty while the Alaska Office of Special Prosecutions reviewed the shooting.

Pohl was additionally named as a defendant in a federal lawsuit arising from a February 19, 2023 APD traffic stop. Plaintiff Brenda Boudreau alleged that officers lacked lawful grounds for the stop, broke her vehicle window, forcibly removed and handcuffed her, searched her and impounded the vehicle. A federal court dismissed the claims against Pohl and the other officers with prejudice in August 2025. The case therefore documents a prior civil allegation involving Pohl but did not result in a judicial finding that he violated Boudreau’s rights.

On 07/31/2026, at approximately 6:15 p.m., Willoughby Police Department officers responded to a disturbance involving two armed men near Euclid Avenue and River Street. Police reported that the man exchanged gunfire with a Willoughby police officer during the encounter. The officer returned fire, striking him. Officers rendered medical aid until emergency medical personnel arrived, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second man was taken into custody. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is leading the investigation. As of the latest public reporting, authorities have not released the name of the involved officer or announced any criminal charges.

On 07/30/2026 at approximately 12:02 p.m., the Chesterfield Township Police Department notified the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office that officers were searching for a man in connection with a reported felonious assault and an earlier attempt to stop his vehicle. Chesterfield Township police reported that the man may have been armed and experiencing a mental health crisis.
Macomb County sheriff’s deputies located the man driving near 26 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue. Deputies attempted to detain him, and police reported that he backed his vehicle into a sheriff’s patrol motorcycle. A deputy fired at him during this initial encounter. The man continued driving west on 26 Mile Road while deputies pursued him.
A short distance later, the man stopped his vehicle on 26 Mile Road between Card Road and Broughton Road and got out holding a weapon. The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office reported that he moved toward the deputies. A deputy fired, striking and killing him at the scene. Reporting did not establish whether the same deputy fired during both encounters.
Witness Anna Schwarz said she saw a deputy standing behind an open vehicle door and aiming a weapon. As Schwarz and another person reached the rear of their vehicle, she heard one gunshot and left the area. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office took control of the investigation.

On 07/29/2026, 30-year-old Juan Rios was killed when he crashed during a police pursuit that began in Victorville and ended in Pomona. At approximately 1:33 a.m., San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department deputies attempted to stop the blue 2025 Nissan Sentra Rios was driving for an alleged vehicle-code violation in Victorville. Rios continued driving away while deputies pursued him through city streets and onto southbound Interstate 15.

The California Highway Patrol assumed control of the pursuit as Rios continued south through the Cajon Pass. The pursuit traveled onto Interstate 215 and Interstate 10 before Rios exited the freeway at Towne Avenue in Pomona.

At approximately 2:00 a.m., Rios crossed railroad tracks near Towne Avenue and Bonita Avenue, lost control of the Nissan and left the roadway. The car crashed head-on into a large palm tree outside an apartment complex. The impact caused extensive damage to the driver’s side and roof of the Nissan and broke off the upper portion of the palm tree.

Rios was the only person inside the car. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene. The pursuit covered approximately 50 miles from Victorville to Pomona. The California Highway Patrol investigated the fatal crash and the circumstances surrounding the pursuit.

On 07/29/2026 at approximately 8:00 a.m., Fort Myers Police Department officers responded to Green Tee Village Apartments at 1830 Maravilla Avenue after receiving a report of a disturbance involving a firearm. Police identified the man at the apartment complex as 23-year-old Aaron Spencer.
Officers established a perimeter after Spencer barricaded himself inside an apartment. Police issued a public warning describing the location as an active scene involving a barricaded armed man and instructed residents to avoid the area. Fort Myers police deployed specialized personnel and maintained positions around the apartment complex during the standoff.
Police entered or secured the residence and found another adult man dead from a gunshot wound inside the apartment. Investigators determined that the man had been killed before police shot Spencer. Fort Myers Police Chief Jason Fields stated that information gathered during the investigation indicated Spencer had shot and killed the man inside the residence.
During the police operation, Spencer emerged or otherwise confronted officers while carrying a firearm. Fort Myers police officers shot Spencer. Officers then approached him and provided emergency medical aid, but Spencer died from his wounds at the scene.
Residents described hearing police repeatedly order Spencer to come outside with his hands raised. Witnesses reported a prolonged and tense police presence involving numerous officers surrounding the apartment complex. Police restricted access to Maravilla Avenue and the Green Tee Village property while investigators processed both fatal shooting scenes.
The Fort Myers Police Department is investigating the shooting death of the man found inside the apartment. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is independently investigating the Fort Myers police officers’ fatal shooting of Spencer.

On 07/29/2026 at approximately 6:30 p.m., Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to multiple reports of an armed man beneath the Interstate 10 Freeway near the intersection of Normandie Avenue and Washington Boulevard in the West Adams area of Los Angeles. Callers reported that the man was armed with a baseball bat, was threatening pedestrians, and had struck occupied vehicles with the bat.
Officers located the man beneath the freeway overpass while he was still holding the baseball bat. According to LAPD Capt. Mike Bland, the man continued swinging the bat at bystanders and officers after police arrived. During the confrontation, officers fired their weapons, striking the man. The department has not disclosed how many officers fired or the number of rounds discharged.
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded after the shooting. Video recorded by a nearby resident showed firefighters performing CPR before transporting the man to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The shooting occurred in a busy commercial area beneath the freeway overpass. A Metro bus remained stopped inside the crime scene while detectives processed evidence. Investigators also examined a damaged minivan believed to have been struck during the incident. Nearby residents reported hearing multiple gunshots while children were playing outside.
The Los Angeles Police Department's Force Investigation Division responded to investigate the shooting. The investigation includes review of body-worn camera recordings, witness statements, physical evidence, dispatch recordings, and the actions of the involved officers. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office will also review the shooting following completion of the investigation. As of the latest available information, the decedent has not been publicly identified and the names of the involved officers have not been released.

On 07/29/2026, at approximately 10:14 p.m., San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of gunfire and a person screaming for help in the 2100 block of Monteverde Drive in Chino Hills. Investigators determined that 67-year-old Zhengfeng Bo and his brother, Jianquan Bo, allegedly interrupted electrical service to the residence of 60-year-old Shukur Aikebaer in an apparent attempt to lure him outside. When Aikebaer came outside to inspect the electrical panel, he was shot and forced into the trunk of a Nissan Altima with Oregon license plates. Investigators are examining whether the power outage was deliberately staged as part of the kidnapping.
Deputies responding to the shooting observed the Nissan leaving the area at a high rate of speed and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle continued driving away, leading deputies on an approximately one- to two-mile pursuit before stopping in the 2400 block of Wandering Ridge Drive. At the time deputies initiated the stop, they were unaware that Aikebaer was inside the trunk.
After the vehicle stopped, Jianquan Bo exited and surrendered. Zhengfeng Bo exited separately but ignored deputies' commands. He walked to the rear of the vehicle, opened the trunk, and fired another shot into Aikebaer while deputies watched. Deputies immediately fired, striking Zhengfeng Bo. Deputies then opened the trunk, discovered Aikebaer suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, and rendered aid until paramedics arrived. Zhengfeng Bo and Aikebaer were both pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators later confirmed that Zhengfeng Bo and Aikebaer had previously worked together. Business records obtained during the investigation show both men held roles in at least two limited liability companies. Court records also show Zhengfeng Bo was involved in civil litigation concerning ownership and control of an approximately $20 million Pasadena apartment complex. According to Bo's attorney, Aikebaer was not a party to those lawsuits but had acted as a "middleman" who introduced Bo to the individual with whom he was in the business dispute. Authorities have not identified a motive but are investigating whether the business relationship contributed to the kidnapping and homicide.
Detectives served a search warrant at the Irvine residence shared by Zhengfeng Bo and Jianquan Bo, recovering evidence related to the investigation. Jianquan Bo was arrested on murder and kidnapping charges and remains held without bail while the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department continues to investigate the case.

On 07/29/2026, Sebastian Hamilton was riding as a passenger in a Hyundai Santa Fe when an Abington Police Department officer attempted to stop the vehicle after determining it displayed an expired registration. The driver continued driving away while police pursued. The SUV ran a red light on Washington Street, left the roadway, and struck a tree. Hamilton suffered critical injuries in the crash and was transported to a hospital, where he died from his injuries on 08/01/2026. Family members later disputed the characterization of the Hyundai as a stolen vehicle, stating it belonged to the mother of one of the passengers, who had allowed her daughter to use it. They stated the vehicle had been taken without permission by Barlow but had not been stolen in the sense initially reported by police. The Plymouth County District Attorney's Office continues to investigate the pursuit and crash.

On 07/29/2026 at approximately 7:47 a.m., an Abington Police Department officer observed a red 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe that had been reported stolen from Brockton at approximately 3:25 a.m. on 07/28/2026. The officer checked the SUV’s registration, confirmed that it had been reported stolen and attempted to stop it on Walnut Street. Seventeen-year-old Jonathan R. Barlow continued driving away while the officer pursued.
He drove from Walnut Street onto Centre Avenue and then Washington Street. Police Chief John Bonney said the Hyundai was traveling at a high rate of speed. The pursuit covered less than one mile and lasted several minutes. The pursuing officer reported the pursuit by radio, activated the police vehicle’s emergency lights and siren and continued behind the Hyundai toward Washington Street.
Surveillance video showed the Hyundai travel through a red traffic signal before leaving the roadway and striking a tree near 877 Washington Street shortly after passing Central Street. The police cruiser remained directly behind the Hyundai but did not collide with it. After the crash, the officer immediately requested multiple ambulances.
Jonathan R. Barlow was pinned inside the wrecked Hyundai and died at the scene. Four passengers between 14 and 17 years old were seriously injured. A female passenger was ejected from the SUV. The other passengers, two males and one female, sustained life-threatening injuries. Emergency personnel transported them to area hospitals, and several were subsequently transferred to Boston hospitals for continued treatment.
Chief Bonney said investigators had not established that Hamilton stole the Hyundai and confirmed only that he was driving it after it had been reported stolen. Police had not determined where the teenagers were going or how they obtained the vehicle.
The pursuing officer had worked for the Abington Police Department for less than two years. The department placed him on administrative leave following the fatal pursuit. Bonney characterized the leave as an investigative and welfare measure rather than disciplinary action. The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office, Abington Police Department and Massachusetts State Police are investigating the pursuit, the officer’s actions and the fatal crash.

On 07/28/2026, 27-year-old Zachary Inglett of Bonaire died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound following a police pursuit that began in Byron and ended in Fort Valley, Georgia. At approximately 11:30 p.m., a Byron Police Department officer attempted to stop Inglett after observing him driving erratically on Georgia Highway 49. Inglett continued driving away while officers pursued him at speeds exceeding 100 mph toward Fort Valley. Deputies with the Peach County Sheriff's Office joined the pursuit. During the pursuit, Inglett called 911 and told dispatchers he intended to kill himself. He eventually stopped his vehicle on Georgia Highway 49 near South Camellia Boulevard. Officers surrounded the vehicle and attempted to communicate with him. Before officers could safely take him into custody, Inglett shot himself. Officers approached the vehicle after hearing the gunshot and found him suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Emergency medical personnel responded, but Inglett was pronounced dead at the scene. No law enforcement officers fired their weapons, and no officers or members of the public were injured. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was requested by the Byron Police Department to conduct an independent investigation into the incident. The investigation remains ongoing.
