City : Paterson
County : Passaic
State : New Jersey
Agency : Totowa Police Department
Officer(s) : Damiano DiIorio
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police chase crash on scooter
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
*** UPDATE 10/13/2023: Totowa PD are reported as stonewalling and locking up evidence in an Internal Investigation when they refused repeatedly to relinquish radio calls. They are also refusing to answer the question to this day, weeks after the fatal crash, why they were chasing David Lucero.
Paterson PD chased a person on a scooter for reasons they did not disclose until the scooter crashed into a vehicle and the driver died. Activists began protesting after the crash, stating that police hunt motorists for a sport and PDs from other jurisdictions such as in this case had a habit of hunting motorists in Paterson. BLM Paterson and other groups have been keeping the case visible.
Police did not release the name and identity of their chase victim nor the reason why this happened.The Attorney General's office issued a vague statement, also avoiding mention why the moped had been chased at all. “If the person did something wrong, they would have said it already,” stated Paterson Black Lives Matter organizer Zellie Thomas.
One day after the fatal crash, Paterson PD announced new, more restricted, guidelines in their own pursuit policies that govern police chases.

Location : Broadway+14th

County : Galveston
State : Texas

Officer(s) : Christopher McNeil
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police cruiser crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Seyedeh Mandana Moeini was on her way to work when a Galveston sergeant speeding to a call crashed into her, killing her. It is unknown whether the call had been urgent or not. When asked, police said they “did not know” whether the officer had his lights and sirens activated and police never gave feedback to media answering this question, making it seemingly likely that these precautions may not have been in place. Additionally, a neighbor who witnesses the loud noise of the crash said she was surprised that she heard no sirens before impact and realized that police had caused the crash without apparent warning. Sgt. McNeil was wearing a body camera but at the time of this update, more than a month after the crash, there is still no record of police having released the footage. Galveston PD owes both the family and the public some answers about this death.

City : Denver
County : Denver
State : Colorado
Agency : Denver PD
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police cruiser under disputed circumstances
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Anthony Chavez was an unhoused man who lived at a nearby encampment and according to the police narrative, he was standing in the roadway and hit and killed by an Adams County deputy cruiser.
The family strongly disputes this narrative and states that he had actually been in the median when inexplicably, the deputy killed him. His siblings were able to view the surveillance video from a nearby business that confirmed this.
The Sheriff’s Office seemed to vaguely backpedal on their initial claims that he had been in the middle of the roadway when killed, changing it to "The individual appears to be in the roadway several minutes prior to the collision." The family is having to fight for their rights to see the evidence and get a truthful narrative out of the Adams County Sheriff’s Office what killed their brother.
