Salt Lake City PD were called to a residence where a man had been seen firing a rifle. Police saw the man go into a home with a woman and wrongly assumed this may be a hostage situation and based on this false assumption, they called the SWAT team. SWAT arrived and started bearing down on the home. Police allege the man fired his rifle. It is unknown whether he pointed it at anyone or fired a warning shot. The woman dropped to the ground. Police made the next false assumption and assumed the man had shot her. They opened fire, killing the man. The woman had been neither shot nor injured. Police only admitted that numerous law enforcement agencies had participated. They did not disclosed how many officers fired on the man. This was a killing that occurred due to a series of false police assumptions, killing a man who had harmed nobody and was guilty only of firing a rifle at apparently nothing in particular.

Jennifer Ferrell

Case # :2195

Age :61

Gender :Female

Race : Black

Date : 11/14/2023

Location : S Stevens St

City : Thomasville

County : Thomas

State : Georgia

Agency : Thomasville PD

Officer(s) : Unknown

Cause of death : Vehicle

Event : Third party motorist killed by police chase crash

Disposition : No Known charges

Open records summary :

Thomasville PD saw a man who had open drug warrants and escalated a high-speed chase through town which ended when the man crashed and killed bystander Jennifer Ferrell who was a third-party motorist waiting at a stop sign. Ms. Farrell had been a beloved wife and mother and one-time local Wendy's worker.

The local black community is very upset about this reckless police chase witnessed by locals. Interviews are linked below. Residents describe a police chase at very high speed that "flew by, ran stop signs" and crashed at very high speed. We at IncarcerNation are very familiar with Thomasville and know the exact spot where this happened. This is a small town and the streets are small, one of the intersecting streets where the fatal crash occurred being merely a single-lane residential street. Thomasville is 56% black, 41% white, total population 19,000. Thomasville is a small town but regionally important. This predominantly black population has a predominantly white male police force with the associated problems of such disparity. We are personally familiar with another case of Thomasville police brutality causing a life-threatening medical crisis in someone for the "crime" of having crossed the nearby Florida border with a small legal in FL amount of dispensary cannabis. An appeal was made this year to the PD which certainly is familiar with the common excessive force of particularly their drug task force. Thomasville is a small town with a large black population which is actively protesting this senseless pedestrian fatality over an attempted local drug bust, particularly since the black community is again held in disregard with his highly dangerous chase with predictable outcome, considering the location and events.
