County : Harrison

State : Mississippi

Officer(s) : Kenneth Nassar

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during investigation

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Officers responded to a call making various allegations from juveniles pointing guns at cars to shoplifting. When police arrived, they allege Jaheim McMillan did not comply and pointed a gun at police. Police then shot and killed him. BWC footage is linked proving a very different narrative. On video, officer Kenneth Nassar is seen driving up to the Dollar General parking lot. A juvenile is seen running near the entrance of Dollar General. Officer Nassar is seen getting out of his car and shooting at the boy immediately, then screaming at the other teens. McMillan is seen bleeding heavily on the ground for the entire 15-minute video without anyone checking his vital signs or making any efforts to help him. The video before the shooting does not show him as “refusing to comply” or pointing any guns at anyone, only running away for a brief few seconds before being killed instantly. McMillan’s mother showed up screaming and crying that she wanted to see her son and was arrested. Officer Nassar was cleared by a grand jury for the killing of the boy.

Deputies claim that a man ambushed them, firing multiple rounds and hitting one of the officers in the back and that one of the officers shot back but was unsure if the man had been hit. JSO claims that the man drove away from the home he was trying to rob in the car he found on premises and then fired again at the officers.
Jacksonville deputies hunted him until he crashed into a median on the Dames Point Bridge, got out of the car and jumped into the river, where he was seen swimming for a bit before going under. It is believed that police did not enter the water to try to save him.
The officer who was shot was taken to the hospital for evaluation but had been wearing body armor and was merely bruised under it. No BWC appears to have been released for verification of the police

Location : Snowden+Lyndon St

City : Detroit

County : Wayne

State : Michigan

Agency : Detroit PD

Officer(s) :

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during mental health welfare check

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Detroit PD responded to a call from the family of Porter Burks, informing them of a mental health crisis and that he wanted to get back to “medical treatment.” Police arrived and allegedly found Burks carrying a knife. Police allege he “lunged” at them, whereupon 4 officers fired shots and killed him with 38 shots in 3 seconds. Police released heavily edited parts of BWC recordings in which all vital parts have been edited out. The claim that Burks lunged at police with a knife cannot be confirmed and is not seen on the video police released, an odd fact considering police justified the killing with the claim of Burks “lunging” with a weapon. The Wayne County DA declared the killing as Justified.

Agency : LAPD

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Third party killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

JaneshaHarris, 35, and Jamarea Keyes, 38, were third parties driving down the street who were killed by a police chase crash when their BMW was struck by a 2006 Cadillac STS that was “speeding” due to being hunted by police.
LAPD claim they called off the chase and turned off their lights and sirens. The crash occurred less than five seconds after the sirens and lights were turned off, as is commonly the case.
Jasmine Mines, an attorney representing the Keyes and Harris families, said the newly released video shows inconsistencies with LAPD’s initial account of events.
“Even though the sirens were off, the officers were clearly still in pursuit. Initially, the LAPD officers stated they retreated and there were 15 seconds from the time they retreated to the time of the collision that ended in fatality. LAPD stated they were not engaged in any chase,” Mines said.
The dashcam video shows the officers chasing the Cadillac through at least four intersections with their lights and sirens on.
