Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
NYPD hunted a man described only as being in his 20s on a scooter who fit the description of someone sought in a robbery elsewhere. Police escalated a hunt against the scooter just before noon in the location depicted above, sourced from Google View. The chase ended when he collided at the above intersection with a box truck and died.
The hunt after this scooter was part of a wider NYC approach to crack down on scooters because Mayor Adams feels that too many crimes are being committed by people who escape on scooters. There have been a number of aggressive incidents including at least 2 deaths in NY with attacks by police on scooter drivers in 2023 so far due to these new policies, this being the third known to us.

Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during investigation of 911 call
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Police allege that they received calls that a neighbor exhibited bizarre behavior by being seen with a fencing mask and sword in or around his home. They called NYPD who arrived, saw Weber with a fencing mask and 2 swords and fired a taser at him, then shot and killed the man. Police allege that he was screaming inside but the details of the circumstances under which he was killed were not passed on by police. Yelling in his own home and wearing a complete fencing outfit is not an illegal act but police did not disclose why they shot and killed him when they entered his home and saw him in his fencing gear.
Alan Weber was known to be a skilled elite fencer and it is not known whether an incident occurred or he was in his common fencing gear and misunderstood by a neighbor and shot upon sight by police as the narrative suggests. Weber was an owner and head coach at Elevate Fencing Club and was a five-time US national team member and Olympic alternate, according to the Rockland Fencers Club Facebook page. He won a medal for the United States at the Pan American Games in 1995.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Two teenagers had allegedly burglarized a smoke shop and stolen two vehicles. Onondaga County deputies located the vehicles on Danzig Ave and tried to stop them. The teenagers drove toward police while trying to get away and police fired shots into the vehicle. The car drove away but was found shortly after that with the driver and passenger both dead from police bullets. A controversy surrounding the deaths soon emerged when it was found the officer had acted questionably throughout such as turning off his lights/sirens, not having dashcam or bodycam activated during the events, boxing in the car, then killing the teens when trying to drive around the blockade, etc. The boys had both been immigrants from South Sudan. The officer who had the dashcam and bodycam both turned off when hunting and killing the boys was cleared by the DA on 09/21/2023 with the comment that the officer “feared for his life” when the boys tried to drive around him when he boxed them in and deliberately stepped in front of their car.

The car drove away but was found shortly after that with the driver and passenger both dead from police bullets. A controversy surrounding the deaths soon emerged when it was found the officer had acted questionably throughout such as turning off his lights/sirens, not having dashcam or bodycam activated during the events, boxing in the car, then killing the teens when trying to drive around the blockade, etc. The boys had both been immigrants from South Sudan. The officer who had the dashcam and bodycam both turned off when hunting and killing the boys was cleared by the DA on 09/21/2023 with the comment that the officer “feared for his life” when the boys tried to drive around him when he boxed them in and deliberately stepped in front of their car.
