Event : Suicide under police duress
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On the evening of July 14, 2025, a multi-agency unit known as the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force executed a search warrant at an apartment in Indianapolis’s 4500 block of East Washington Street, citing probable cause linking the resident to violent firearms violations. Upon arrival, officers knocked and announced their presence twice, receiving no reply.
Shortly afterward, they heard a gunshot from within the apartment. Officers forced entry, entering through the door under the assumption that someone had been shot. Instead of encountering another victim, they found the individual dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. A toddler and adult exited safely during the breach.
The Indiana State Police, joined by Crime Scene Investigators, took over the investigation. Everyone on scene was wearing body cameras, but no footage has been publicly released to date.

City : Kissimmee
County : Osceola
State : Florida
Agency : Osceola County Sheriff's Office
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Taser
Event : Killed by police during arrest
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On July 13, 2025, an Osceola County deputy observed Derik Bonet-Rodriguez running erratically in and out of traffic on N Main Street near Vine Street in Kissimmee. The deputy attempted to detain Bonet-Rodriguez, which escalated into a physical altercation. According to police reports, deputies deployed a taser multiple times to subdue him during the struggle.
After being handcuffed and restrained, Bonet-Rodriguez became unresponsive within minutes. Deputies immediately called for medical assistance, and paramedics transported him to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has opened an independent investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the use of the taser, the conduct of deputies, and the cause of death. The autopsy results have not been publicly released but are awaited to clarify whether taser deployment directly contributed to his death or if other medical factors were involved.
Bonet-Rodriguez’s family has publicly demanded answers and transparency, alleging excessive force. The incident has raised concerns locally about law enforcement use of force policies, particularly in encounters involving individuals exhibiting erratic or potentially impaired behavior.
No names of involved deputies have been disclosed, and they remain on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Officer(s) : Trooper Zachary Mills
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police after pursuit
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On the morning of July 13, 2025, a Kentucky State Police trooper, later identified as Trooper Zachary Mills, initiated a traffic stop involving Guy House on Old Richmond Road near Jacobson Park. During the stop, House reportedly exited the vehicle and opened fire, shooting Trooper Mills in the abdomen. Despite being seriously wounded, Mills was able to call for backup, and House fled the scene.
House allegedly drove to a second location, where police say he carjacked a woman at gunpoint to steal a second vehicle. He then proceeded to Richmond Road Baptist Church on 3895 Richmond Road, arriving during a Sunday morning church service. Armed with a handgun, House reportedly entered the sanctuary and began shooting, fatally wounding two women, later identified as Beverly Gumm, 70, and Christina Combs, 50. At least four others were injured, including a child, according to multiple reports.
Police tracked the second vehicle to the church, where House was encountered inside or near the sanctuary. A confrontation occurred under unclear circumstances, and multiple Lexington Division of Police officers opened fire, killing House. The exact sequence of this final encounter, including whether House fired at police again, is currently under investigation. House died at the scene. The officers who opened fire have not been publicly identified, and their current duty status is unknown.
Trooper Mills was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital and is expected to recover. Emergency services arrived rapidly at both crime scenes. The injured churchgoers received treatment at local hospitals, with no updated conditions publicly available.
The Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team is leading the investigation into the officer-involved shooting. There has been no public update regarding possible body camera footage, and officials have not confirmed whether House acted alone or what his motive was. The church community held a vigil the day after the incident. Family members of the victims have called for increased safety and transparency from law enforcement.

County : El Paso
State : Texas
Agency : El Paso Police Department
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Asphyxiation
Event : Died after being tased by police during mental health crisis intervention
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On the morning of July 13, 2025, El Paso police officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a man behaving erratically and climbing over the barrier along Interstate 10 near Yarbrough Drive. The man was identified as 30-year-old Xavier Guadalupe Hernandez. Eyewitnesses stated that Hernandez appeared to be in distress and was attempting to jump off the overpass, prompting an emergency mental health intervention response.
When officers arrived, they found Hernandez perched on the highway barrier. Police negotiators attempted to talk him down, but according to the El Paso Police Department, he became physically combative and noncompliant as officers approached him. After a brief verbal engagement, police deployed a Taser, aiming to subdue him without lethal force.
Following the Taser deployment, Hernandez became unresponsive. Officers began CPR and emergency medical aid at the scene until paramedics arrived. He was transported to Del Sol Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
The Texas Rangers and the El Paso Police Department’s Crimes Against Persons Unit have launched parallel investigations into the use of force. An internal affairs review is also underway, and the names of the involved officers have not been released. Officials have not confirmed how many times the Taser was deployed or whether body camera footage exists or will be made public.
Attorney Gabriel Perez, representing Hernandez’s family, told local media that they were shocked and devastated by his death, emphasizing that Xavier was in the midst of a mental health crisis and needed help—not force. A major lawsuit was filed on 1/26/2026.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On Sunday, July 13, 2025, Middletown Police officers responded to a domestic violence call and welfare check at a residence at 3013 Mohawk Street. Reports indicated that a woman inside the home was possibly in danger. Upon arrival, officers encountered 60-year-old Ronald Hazen Kerr, who was allegedly involved in a violent altercation with a female resident, later identified as Lisa Marie Gilbert, 53.
According to official statements, officers attempted to communicate with Kerr, who was inside the home and initially refused to exit or cooperate.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers later entered the residence and found Lisa Gilbert deceased inside the home from apparent gunshot wounds. Authorities have not publicly confirmed whether her death occurred before or during the police response. Initial statements suggest Kerr may have shot and killed her prior to the officers’ arrival, but the timeline remains under investigation.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is handling the use-of-force investigation, while the Butler County Prosecutor’s Office is overseeing the case review.
As of this writing, the names of the involved officers remain undisclosed, and their duty status has not been publicly updated. No prior criminal record or domestic violence history for Kerr has been reported in available public records.
The incident has prompted community concerns over escalating domestic violence and mental health responses.

Autopsies for both Kerr and Gilbert are pending, and further details are expected once BCI completes its investigation.

Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Bystander killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On Saturday, July 12, 2025, Roseville Police officers began pursuing a 16-year-old male driving a stolen Hyundai Sonata, reportedly taken from a dealership lot earlier that day. The pursuit entered the city of Warren and reached dangerously high speeds, though police have not publicly disclosed how fast the teen was driving or whether officers followed departmental pursuit policy.
At approximately 3:20 p.m., at the intersection of 11 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue, the teen driver ran a red light while being chased and collided with a vehicle operated by 28-year-old Alex Habib, who was working as an Uber driver at the time. Habib’s vehicle was struck at high speed and heavily damaged. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead from crash-related injuries.
Habib was a married father of two and a resident of Madison Heights. He had reportedly just picked up a passenger before the crash. According to statements from his widow, Habib was a hardworking husband who had no involvement with the chase and was simply caught in the path of a reckless pursuit initiated by police.
The 16-year-old driver was taken into custody after the crash and faces multiple felony charges, including felony murder, fleeing and eluding, and unlawful use of a motor vehicle. His identity has not been released due to his age.
The Roseville Police Department has not confirmed whether officers were following protocol, using lights and sirens throughout the chase, or whether the decision to pursue a stolen vehicle justified the risk in a dense urban area. The incident is under investigation by Macomb County authorities, but no officers have been placed on leave and no internal review findings have been made public.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On the morning of July 12, 2025, James Raymond Kemp, 39, called 911 and reported that he had fatally shot his 37-year-old brother, Christopher Kemp, at their shared residence at 1609 West Second Street in North Platte, Nebraska. The initial call triggered a multi-agency response, including officers from the North Platte Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, and Nebraska State Patrol.
Upon arrival, officers found themselves in an active standoff situation. James Kemp had reportedly barricaded himself inside the home with his 11-year-old son, refusing to allow the child to leave. Police set up a perimeter and initiated a lengthy negotiation process with Kemp.
At approximately 9:45 a.m., Kemp agreed to release the child, who was safely removed from the residence by officers. Just minutes later, officers on the perimeter reported hearing a single gunshot from inside the home. A tactical team made entry and found James Kemp dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His brother, Christopher Kemp, was located deceased inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds.
Officials have not confirmed whether Kemp made any additional threats, left a note, or was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Nebraska State Patrol is leading the ongoing investigation, which includes autopsy results, firearm tracing, and motive determination.
Police confirmed the 11-year-old child is now in the custody of other family members. No information has been released regarding past domestic incidents, restraining orders, or mental health history involving either Kemp brother.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On Friday, July 11, 2025, at approximately 6:22 p.m., Haverhill police responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a man behaving erratically near White Street, weaving in and out of traffic. The individual was identified as 43-year-old Francis Gigliotti. Witnesses reported that Gigliotti had fallen and struck his head on a passing vehicle, prompting concerns about his physical and mental state.

According to witnesses and video evidence reviewed by local media, officers were seen holding Gigliotti down as he screamed for help, reportedly face down on the ground. During the restraint, Gigliotti became unresponsive.
He was transported to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead. The Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is conducting an autopsy to determine the official cause and manner of death, which remains undisclosed at this time.
The incident is under joint investigation by the Essex County District Attorney’s Office and Haverhill Police Department. Officials have not released the number or identity of the officers involved, whether body camera footage exists, or whether departmental use-of-force policies were followed.
Family members have raised concerns publicly, questioning the level of force used and demanding transparency. Community advocates have also called for an independent review of the case and the release of all available footage and reports.

When officers located Bellaphant in the Aldi parking lot with the child and attempted to take him into custody, he assaulted the officers and then produced a firearm, according to preliminary statements from police. A gunfire exchange occurred inside the Aldi, during which no officers were hit.
Bellaphant fled the scene on foot and entered a nearby Cub Foods store. While inside, two bystanders were struck by gunfire.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is leading the investigation, which includes reviewing body camera footage, forensic evidence, and interviewing witnesses.

The identities of the officers involved have not been released, and no formal departmental statements have addressed whether policy was followed during the attempted arrest. Surveillance footage from both stores is being reviewed by investigators.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On Friday, July 11, 2025, at approximately 2:30 a.m., officers with the Kenner Police Department attempted to stop a gold Honda Pilot driven by 26-year-old Elvin Santos Banegas in connection with alleged road-rage behavior in the vicinity of Airline Highway and Taylor Street.
When Banegas refused to stop, officers escalated the encounter into a high-speed pursuit, with speeds reportedly reaching 90 miles per hour. The chase moved northbound on Taylor Street, where Banegas crossed West Metairie Avenue, vaulted over a curb and canal, and crashed into the opposite canal bank.
The vehicle sustained significant damage in the crash. Banegas was found critically injured and was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Police stated that the initial incident appeared to involve a second vehicle, described as a red Ford Mustang, which may have played a role in the original road-rage situation. Authorities are seeking information from the public about the Mustang and its driver but have not confirmed if it was involved in the pursuit or contributed to the crash.
The names of the officers involved in the pursuit have not been released, and no dashcam or body camera footage has been made public. It remains unclear whether pursuit policy was followed or if the decision to chase at high speeds in a residential area has been subject to internal review.

Event : Wisconsin State Patrol superintendent killed in family double homicide at home
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 07/09/2025, at a residence in the 5200 block of Paulson Road in Middleton, Wisconsin, three members of a family were found dead in what police are investigating as a double murder-suicide involving a high-profile law enforcement official.
Among the deceased was David Pabst, 64, who had served as Wisconsin State Patrol Superintendent Anthony Burrell prior to retirement. (Note: Sources originally misidentified Burrell as the current superintendent; David Pabst, his predecessor, was confirmed as the victim alongside his wife, Tracy Pabst, 56.)
The couple’s son, James Pabst, 25, is alleged to have shot and killed both parents inside the home before retreating into a barricaded position. Middleton Police and Dane County Sheriff’s deputies responded, initiating a brief standoff, during which James took his own life as officers surrounded the home.
The motive for the killings has not been released, and no prior history of domestic conflict or mental health crisis has been publicly confirmed. Investigators recovered a handgun at the scene, and autopsies for all three individuals have been ordered by the Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The Middleton Police Department is leading the investigation, with assistance from the Dane County Sheriff’s Office and Wisconsin Department of Justice. Officials have not released details on any 911 calls, timeline of events, or whether any warning signs were observed before the killings.
