OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Troup County Sheriff’s Office announced that they chased a vehicle, escalated the hunt to 100 mph and attacked the vehicle with a PIUT maneuver which is known to be almost certainly lethal at such speeds and as expected, the car was hit by police, knocked off the road, ejecting a man and 2 women. The man died. The women were confirmed to be injured and in unknown condition. Police did not accuse the vehicle of anything other than not stopping on command and it appears that was why they were targeted by high-speed PIT and killed and injured.

Gender :Male

Race : Black

Date : 10/16/2023

Location : I-95

City : Camden

County : Camden

State : Georgia

Agency : Camden County SO

Officer(s) : Buck Aldridge

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during traffic stop

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Leonard Cure was traffic-stopped on the I-95 in Camden County, Georgia on 10/16/2023 and reportedly cooperated with the deputy until he was told he was under arrest. It is unknown how the deputy approached him or why he was suddenly attacked by taser at a traffic stop but he allegedly fought the deputy because he did not want to go back to jail under any circumstances. He was shot and killed.

Leonard Cure had spent 16 years in a Florida prison and was exonerated when his innocence was proven in 2020. His reaction to being told that he was under arrest for an unknown traffic infraction was to try to escape. He was murdered in the process. Police have no comment so far, have not made claims thus far that he had been armed and have not commented why they killed him. Leonard Cure died at a traffic stop in Georgia at the hands of a deputy on 10/16/2023.

*** 10/20/2023 UPDATE: It was discovered that deputy Buck Aldridge who killed Leonard Cure has a profound history of excessive force and on-duty and off-duty misconduct that caused him to be fired from his previous employer, the Kingsland PD. He was hired as deputy by Camden County in 2017 and is a sergeant.

Location : Leroy Scott Dr

City : Decatur

County : DeKalb

State : Georgia

Agency : DeKalb County SO

Officer(s) : Unknown

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during manhunt

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Geoffry Frank Walker had 2 warrants for a previous family violence episode. Bartow County deputies located him and began an aggressive manhunt for the stated reason of these family fights, attacking him with a PIT maneuver and forcing him to crash his vehicle. Walker reportedly “hopped” out of his vehicle and fled according to local media with police unleashing and siccing a K9 after him. Walker allegedly fired a shot at the police K9 and injured him. The police dog was taken to the hospital and survived. Police chased Walker behind a hotel compound and shot and killed him. Police also seemingly mocked him when they described him as “hopping” away from the vehicle but this description suggests that he may have been injured by the aggressive PIT and dog attack. Police did not state how the police dog was injured, whether by bullet by police or by Walker fighting back.

County : Montgomery

State : Georgia

Agency : Montgomery County SO

Officer(s) : Unknown

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during “shots fired” call

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Donald Bonner Jr. was allegedly in his backyard firing a gun when police were sent. He allegedly got into a spat with them and according to police, he uttered verbal threats to kill police but he is not reported as making hostile gestures and instead went inside of his house in a gesture that he wanted no conflict with police. Police invited Georgia State Patrol and a SWAT team to the home to serve Bonner with warrants for either firing shots in his backyard or issuing alleged verbal threats to police. Several law enforcement agencies besieged the home with militarized SWAT. Police saw Bonner behind his own home, allegedly with a gun. Police shot and killed him. Throughout this ordeal, it does not appear that he was a physical threat to police and he seemed to only want to retreat after whatever he said that escalated police into this killing.
