City : Detroit

County : Wayne

State : Michigan

Agency : Detroit Police Department

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Detroit police were called to the Garden Bowl on Woodward on a report of an intoxicated man causing a disturbance. When police arrived, 71-year-old Daryl Vance had already left the bar and was no longer causing any problems, witnesses said. Brown aggressively approached Vance and threatened to punch him. The interaction quickly escalated, and Brown punched Vance in the jaw, causing him to fall and strike his head. Brown was left lying and died less than a week after the incident. Vance was on life support for 20 days before he died on Sept. 21 from blunt force trauma to his head. “There was no de-escalation,” Crawford says. “The officer escalated it. He wasn’t defending himself. That’s why Mr. Vance died. This is about seeking justice for Mr. Daryl Vance.”
