County : Washington

Agency : Fayetteville PD

Officer(s) : Cpl. Stevon Grindstaff

Event : Killed by police during traffic stop

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Fayetteville PD traffic-stopped Scotty Stacie and allege he backed up the vehicle during the traffic stop, causing the officer to shoot and kill him. Stacey was described by his friends as a “good guy”, a race car driver, someone who bothered nobody. Fayetteville PD claims Stacey landed in a field and reversed to try to get out when a deputy appeared behind him, claimed Stacey was “driving toward him” and shot and killed him in the moving vehicle. Police did not release their bodycam and dashcam videos and this is a still unproven police narrative. Stacey had been charged with personal drug possession and fleeing from police months before his death. He was well-known in the area and police may have targeted him because of old charges.

Officer Grindstaff was arrested on 03/11/2024 and charged with homicide.

County : Jones

State : Mississippi

Agency : Laurel PD

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Laurel PD set up a “safe checkpoint” and stopped 18-year-old Dakota Gray. Police felt they smelled marijuana and the driver fled with police chasing the vehicle at high speeds until it crashed into a tree, killing Dakota Gray. Police allege that they called off the chase just before impact, a very common police action when a fatal crash is likely. During a chase, a person is considered “in custody” with the PD bearing responsibility for the chase. If a crash is imminent at high speeds and the chase is “called off” moments prior, it is just an accident and no longer the result of a pursuit. This pattern is so repetitive that numerous cases can be found in this database by searching for the words “called off.” Dakota Gray, an 18-year-old driver died in such a called-off chase and a cannabis odor.
