OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 03/17/2024, Michelle Wall, 44, was driving to church when police chased a stolen Jeep into her vehicle at East 156th Street and Calcutta Avenue in Cleveland, killing her. According to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by her mother, Elizabeth Wall, former Euclid officer Benjamin Wilcox initiated the pursuit and Lt. Vashon Williams authorized it, despite dangerous conditions and speeds alleged to have reached up to 120 mph. The lawsuit states the chase violated department policy and continued across jurisdictional boundaries. After the crash, officers allegedly continued pursuing the occupants of the stolen vehicle on foot instead of providing medical assistance to Wall, and a nurse who attempted to help was reportedly instructed to step away. The City of Euclid has stated its internal review found the officers did nothing wrong.

Age :24

Gender :Male

Race : White

Date : 03/16/2024

Location : Highway 56

City : West Concord

County : Dodge

State : Iowa

Agency : Dodge County Sheriff’s Office

Officer(s) : Nicholas Ruggles, Matthew Webb, ndrew Lane, Matthew English

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during mental health crisis

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

The incident involving Tyler C. Stansberry occurred on March 16, 2024, in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Officers from the Fort Dodge Police Department responded to a distress call at 1525 Fourth Avenue South, where Stansberry was reported to be exhibiting out-of-control behavior and had allegedly injured a dog. Upon arrival, officers learned of an active arrest warrant for Stansberry for probation violation related to a prior domestic abuse conviction.
.
When officers entered the residence, Stansberry, armed with two knives, reportedly charged at them. Officer Matthew English discharged his firearm, striking Stansberry twice in the torso. Despite being wounded, Stansberry continued to resist before officers secured the scene. He was later pronounced dead.
.
The officers involved—Officer Nicholas Ruggles, Sergeant Matthew Webb, Officer Andrew Lane, and Officer Matthew English—were placed on critical incident leave following the shooting. An investigation by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and a subsequent review by Webster County Attorney Darren Driscoll concluded that the officers were justified in their use of force, as they reasonably believed it was necessary to defend themselves or others from imminent harm.
.
Stansberry's family stated that he had been diagnosed with autism and schizophrenia and was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of the incident. They expressed concerns about the police response and advocated for improved mental health training for law enforcement.

Event : Allegedly fatally beaten and dumped in alley by LASD deputies

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 03/14/2024, Francisco Nunez, a 38-year-old father of eight, was reportedly involved in an incident with deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD). Nunez was in a vehicle identified by LASD as possibly stolen. Two individuals fled the vehicle, leaving behind a 14-year-old boy, who was shot in the chest and legs by LASD deputies but survived. Eyewitnesses, including the boy, reported that LASD deputies handcuffed and beat Nunez at the scene.
.
Five days later, Nunez was found deceased 250 feet from the location of the alleged assault, with blood in his mouth, hands, and pants, as well as visible bruises and burn marks on his body. LASD claimed Nunez had never been in custody and cited methamphetamine toxicity as the cause of death. However, the coroner disputed this, telling Nunez's family the death was consistent with injuries from a physical altercation.
.
The investigation was conducted internally by LASD, with deputies Rivas and Leopoldo Sanchez, known for affiliations with the LASD deputy gang "Banditos," reportedly involved. The deputies who allegedly detained and beat Nunez, Simi and Quesada, were from the Lancaster LASD station, which has faced previous allegations of misconduct.
.
The Nunez family has reported ongoing harassment by LASD deputies, who have been observed sitting in front of their homes and yelling obscenities at them.
.
The investigation into Francisco Nunez's death is being conducted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) Homicide Bureau. The case is led by Detectives Rivas and Leopoldo Sanchez. Detective Sanchez has been identified as an associate of the Banditos, a deputy gang within the LASD.
