Event : Killed by police during arrest

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Deputies with the Pinal County Sheriff's Office located 60-year-old Mark McMillin at a residence on the 200 block of 2nd Street in Winkelman.

Around 10:00 p.m., deputies attempted to arrest him, but McMillin produced a handgun, chambered a round, and pointed it directly toward officers in a threatening manner. A sergeant, later identified as James Hoffman, fired four shots, fatally wounding McMillin at the scene. Hoffman was placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation.

Local media obtained body camera footage that shows McMillin refusing commands to drop the weapon before the shooting.

Christopher Pierce

Age :52

Gender :Male

Race : White

Date : 07/18/2025

Location : Old Hickory Boulevard parking lot near 45 Bypass

City : Jackson

County : Madison

State : Tennessee

Agency : Jackson Police Department

Officer(s) : Officer Michael Trent

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during road rage incident

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Officers responded to a reported road rage incident in a parking lot near the 45 Bypass in Jackson after calls described a man brandishing a firearm following an altercation with another driver. Upon arrival, police say Christopher Pierce fired a single shot from inside his vehicle toward the other driver, escalating the situation. Officers identified Pierce as armed and dangerous and gave multiple commands to surrender. Officer Michael Trent fired five shots through the driver’s side window, striking Pierce multiple times. Pierce was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Initial reports were unclear if Pierce’s fatal wound was self-inflicted or caused by officers. However, a preliminary medical examiner’s report confirmed the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds consistent with police firearm discharge. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) is conducting a full independent investigation, including reviewing body camera footage and interviewing witnesses.
Community response has been mixed, with some questioning the proportionality of the force used given the brief timeline between Pierce’s shot and police response. The Jackson Police Department has reiterated its commitment to transparency and said the involved officer remains on administrative leave pending investigation results.

On July 17, 2025, Prince William County Police responded to multiple reports of a man pointing a gun at pedestrians near the Potomac Mills Mall area. Officers located Harrison Charles Deppe sitting in a vehicle near Potomac Mills Circle.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

In the early hours of July 17, 2025, deputies from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic violence call on Charleston Road reporting a woman had been shot in the arm. Upon arrival at approximately 1:15 a.m., deputies encountered an armed male inside the residence. The man immediately opened fire at the deputies, initiating a tense standoff lasting several hours.
During the standoff, deputies evacuated nearby neighbors and secured a perimeter to contain the situation. The female was safely rescued from the residence and transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Throughout the prolonged confrontation, the man reportedly fired multiple rounds, escalating tensions and forcing deputies to call in specialized negotiators.
In a final act during the early morning hours, the man turned the firearm on himself, inflicting a fatal gunshot wound. Deputies entered the residence shortly after and confirmed his death.
The incident is under active investigation by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office in cooperation with West Virginia State Police. Authorities are reviewing body-worn camera footage, radio transmissions, and witness accounts to fully reconstruct the timeline and evaluate law enforcement response.

City : Opelika

County : Lee

State : Alabama

Agency : Opelika Police Department, Lee County SWAT

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during domestic disturbance call

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

At approximately 10:41 p.m. on July 16, 2025, the Opelika Police Department received a 911 call reporting a domestic violence incident at a residence on the 3000 block of Wymond Drive involving a man armed with a weapon. Bryan Daniel Hall, 32, was inside the home, barricaded with a woman and a 2-year-old child.
The woman was able to escape unharmed during the early phase of the standoff, but the toddler remained inside with Hall. Due to the potentially volatile situation involving a minor, law enforcement escalated their response and activated the Lee County SWAT Team, which deployed tactical units including heavily armed officers wearing ballistic gear and long rifles.
Neighbors reported seeing an intense police presence with more than 17 marked and unmarked police vehicles, including a tank truck and armored personnel carrier, surrounding the residence. Officers established a secure perimeter and attempted multiple negotiation efforts through phone and loudspeaker, which remained largely unsuccessful.
The standoff lasted several hours, during which officers monitored the situation closely, coordinating with child welfare agencies to prepare for the rescue of the child. Eventually, under undisclosed but critical operational circumstances, officers opened fire, fatally wounding Hall. The 2-year-old child was subsequently rescued unharmed from the residence.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) has launched an independent investigation into the incident, reviewing bodycam footage, radio transmissions, and tactical decision-making. All involved officers have been placed on administrative leave during the review. Findings will be submitted to the Lee County District Attorney’s Office for grand jury consideration. The case has sparked community debate about law enforcement’s handling of domestic disturbances involving vulnerable children and the use of lethal force.

County : Galveston

State : Texas

Agency : Harris County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office, Galveston Police Department

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during chase

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 16, 2025, law enforcement initiated a stop attempt on a stolen pickup truck driven by 25-year-old Orlando Silva-Lemus near Houston's Hobby Airport. Silva-Lemus refused to comply, triggering a high-speed, multi-county pursuit that extended over 30 miles, involving multiple law enforcement agencies including the Harris County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office and the Galveston Police Department.
During the pursuit, Silva-Lemus allegedly fired several rounds at pursuing officers’ vehicles, significantly escalating the danger. Police deployed spike strips on the Gulf Freeway (I-45) in an attempt to disable the vehicle, and eventually performed a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver near Broadway and 54th Street in Galveston to bring the chase to an end.
After the vehicle was stopped, Silva-Lemus exited the truck armed with a handgun and immediately opened fire on officers. Responding officers returned fire, fatally wounding him at the scene. No officers were reported injured during the shootout.
The incident prompted a massive multi-agency response across Houston and Galveston, temporarily shutting down key highways and prompting alerts to nearby residents. Investigators are currently reviewing dashcam and bodycam footage as part of the investigation. The Texas Rangers and local district attorneys are overseeing the inquiry into the use of deadly force and pursuit tactics.
Community reactions have been mixed, with some praising law enforcement’s efforts to bring the pursuit safely to an end, while others raise concerns about the risks posed by high-speed chases in urban areas.

Around 10:45 p.m. on July 15, 2025, Brighton Police Department officers initiated a traffic stop for a Dodge Charger observed driving recklessly on West Grand River Avenue. The driver failed to comply and accelerated, prompting officers to escalate to a high-speed pursuit.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 14, 2025, Corpus Christi police responded to reports of an assault involving a weapon near the 7900 block of Elk Drive. Upon arrival, officers encountered Hector Ryan Rincon, who was reportedly agitated and resisted compliance. During the confrontation, officers employed unspecified less-lethal measures including tasers and physical restraint attempts, but Rincon remained combative and uncooperative.
At some point, Rincon entered a nearby vehicle, and while an officer had partially opened the door or was attempting to prevent his escape by physically blocking the vehicle, Rincon allegedly attempted to drive away. Fearing for the officer's safety, responding officers opened fire, fatally wounding Rincon at the scene.
Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and described the scene as tense and chaotic. First responders quickly secured the area and rendered aid, but Rincon succumbed to his injuries. The police department has not publicly disclosed the names of the officers involved.
The Corpus Christi Police Department has initiated an internal investigation in coordination with the Texas Rangers, who will also conduct an independent inquiry. Body camera footage and surveillance from nearby homes and businesses are being reviewed to clarify the events leading to the shooting.
This incident is the latest in a series of officer-involved shootings in the area that has sparked local calls for increased police accountability and better mental health crisis intervention training.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On the evening of July 14, 2025, around 10:00 p.m., Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies engaged with a male individual in his 40s in Guadalupe following a chain of events that began with a minor traffic crash on U.S. 60. The man fled the scene of the crash and proceeded to the residential area near Avenida del Yaqui and Calle Guadalupe.
Upon arrival, deputies attempted to communicate and de-escalate the situation, but the man made clear suicidal statements and exhibited agitated behavior. Despite repeated commands, he refused to comply and brandished a bladed weapon—a large knife or similar edged object. Deputies responded with lethal force, discharging their firearms and fatally wounding the man.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, with deputies securing the area and requesting additional law enforcement resources for the ensuing investigation. The exact details regarding the number of shots fired or which deputies fired have not been publicly disclosed.
Witnesses in the neighborhood reported hearing multiple commands to drop the weapon and saw the man move erratically before the shooting. Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has opened an internal investigation, and the Arizona Department of Public Safety is expected to conduct an independent review to assess compliance with use-of-force policies.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 14, 2025, shortly after 5:00 p.m., Milwaukee Police Department officers initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle near 37th Street and Fond du Lac Avenue for equipment violations. The driver refused to pull over and immediately fled southbound, prompting officers to escalate the situation into a high-speed pursuit.
Traveling at speeds reaching up to 106 mph through dense urban traffic, the fleeing vehicle careened dangerously through intersections. Within seconds, the driver lost control and crashed into a bus stop shelter located at the busy intersection of Sherman Boulevard and Fond du Lac Avenue.
Lorenzo Martin, age 55, was waiting inside the bus shelter at the time. The force of the crash caused the vehicle to strike Martin with devastating impact. Emergency responders arrived quickly but pronounced Martin dead at the scene due to catastrophic blunt force trauma.
The crash scene caused significant damage to the bus shelter and disrupted traffic flow in the area. Witnesses described the vehicle's reckless driving moments before the crash and expressed shock and grief over the innocent bystander's death.
The Milwaukee Police Department launched an internal investigation alongside a review by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 14, 2025, deputies from the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office responded to multiple reports of an armed man at the popular Fort Custer Recreation Area near Augusta, Michigan. The situation prompted a large-scale evacuation of the campground and beach area around 5:00 p.m., displacing dozens of visitors and campers for public safety.
