Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during a disturbance call

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On November 28, 2021, at approximately 1:30 p.m., Anne Arundel County Police officers responded to a 911 call reporting that a male family member, armed with a knife, had chased a woman from a residence in the 1400 block of Braden Loop in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
.
Upon arrival, officers knocked on the door multiple times but received no response. They forcibly entered the home and encountered 32-year-old Digno "DJ" Ramon Yorro Jr., who was armed with a knife. Officers issued multiple commands for Yorro to drop the weapon, which he ignored. Non-lethal measures, including beanbag shotgun rounds and a Taser, were deployed but proved ineffective. Yorro then advanced towards the officers, still holding the knife, at which point Corporal Joseph Burger discharged his firearm, striking Yorro multiple times. Yorro was pronounced dead at the scene.
.
During a subsequent search of the residence, officers discovered the body of Yorro's mother in the garage; she had suffered multiple stab wounds. The Maryland Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division conducted a review of the incident. In September 2022, the Anne Arundel County State's Attorney's Office declined to file charges against the involved officers, determining that their actions were justified under the circumstances.

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police after shooting

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 11/27/2021, at the Kalamazoo Transportation Center located at 459 N Burdick St, Anthony Oliver, a 54-year-old male, allegedly opened fire on a bus, shooting three passengers. The Kalamazoo Public Safety officers responded to the scene approximately two minutes after the initial 911 call was made. Upon arrival, they encountered an active shooter situation. Responding officers, engaged in a shootout with Oliver and Sean and killed him. The three others sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The shooting led to a temporary suspension of Metro bus services for the day. Investigations into the incident, including Oliver's motives and whether he knew any of the victims, were ongoing at the time. Oliver had a history of mental health issues, with his family indicating he was seeking help for these problems prior to the incident. The Kalamazoo County prosecutor later ruled that the officers' actions were in self-defense, and no criminal charges were filed against them. Video evidence from body cameras, bus cameras, and the transportation center's security cameras captured much of the incident. Oliver's family has spoken out about his struggles with mental health, and community reactions have called for increased security at the bus station and better mental health support.

Event : Suicide under police duress

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On November 23, 2021, at approximately 9:00 a.m., a Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a motorcycle near the intersection of LA-700 and Shelly Road in Kaplan, Louisiana, due to the rider not wearing a helmet. The motorcyclist, identified as 43-year-old Kelly Vaughn (also known as Kelly Griffin), did not provide identification and reportedly gave false information regarding his identity. Police alleged that he retrieved a handgun from his saddlebag; however, they admitted that he did not threaten them. Officers drew their firearms, and Vaughn fled on foot into a dense grassy field. Law enforcement established a perimeter, and the Vermilion Parish Sheriff's Office Special Response Team, along with Louisiana State Police, deployed aerial drones to locate him. Negotiators demanded his surrender, but Vaughn responded by firing shots at the drones and stated he would end his life rather than be taken to jail. At approximately 4:24 p.m., many hours after the standoff began, Vaughn died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound during the SWAT standoff. It is unknown whether he had committed any crimes, as police did not comment further.
