State : Georgia
Agency : Coweta County SO, Newnan PD
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police after car chase
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Newnan PD saw a Corvette with dark window tint and took up chase. The chase escalated until the man stopped. Police released a K9 and allege that he exited the car and came toward them with a knife and injured the K9.
Bystander video later showed a very different narrative in which the car stopped at the end of the chase, deputies are seen busting out the car windows, sending a K9 into the vehicle that dragged a black man out. The man ran away from the car to escape the dog that was biting at his arm. His arms were pointed downward in gestures protecting his body from the attacking dog and on video, he had no visible weapon and shielded against the dog attack. Police shot and killed him. Media submitted the privately acquired heavily edited BWC footage that edited the killing out while police refuse to provide any video or reports at all. The initial police story was proven by video to be untruthful.

Location : Eastview Park
City : Celina
County : Mercer
State : Ohio
Agency : Celina PD
Officer(s) : David Powell, Justin Rice
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during cannabis traffic stop
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Celina PD at 2 a.m. arrived at a park conducting an investigation into possible marijuana smell coming from a car. Police began an altercation and Andrew allegedly refused to exit his car and instead tried to drive away. He drove past an officer who fell down and hit his head. Celina PD then fired shots into the moving vehicle, killing Corey Andrew, 24, in front of his girlfriend Hannah Pawelski and their newborn baby who were fortunate not to be hit by police shooting at the vehicle. Police allege that he “drove toward police” and released partial dashcam and bodycam videos linked below. Andrew appeared to try to drive past the officer and did not make any visible turns to try to hit him. Police later claimed that he tried to run the officer over. This is not seen on video and he appeared to try to drive away, did not touch the officer who is seen falling on his own. Police Chief Tom Wale stated: “So independent investigators, independent prosecutor presenting it to the grand jury to determine that the officers are justified," seemingly revealing that the anticipated outcome that this killing will be Justified by a grand jury may be predetermined. Ohio police created this incident by attempting to make a petty cannabis possession bust and ended up executing a young father who tried to drive away from the confrontation.

Cause of Death : Beaten/bludgeoned
Event : Bludgeoned to death by police during buy-bust
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
NYPD was conducting an undercover narcotics buy-bust sting and set up Eric Duprey, alleging he had made a small drug sale. Eric Duprey left on his scooter. NYPD undercover agent Erik Duran who was in plainclothes and not identified as police, picked up a 40-pound ice cooler he had taken away from a picnicking family that was filled with cold drinks and threw it at Duprey’s head, striking him in the face, allegedly shattering his skull, knocking him off the scooter and slamming him into a tree where he died. He was unarmed. His family is adamant that they were on the phone before and during his death and that he had only been passing through because he was a bike food delivery worker. His wife was not informed of the death and police refused to give her any information when she learned of it. His mother in Puerto Rico who had been on the phone with him when he was killed is demanding justice and questioning NYPD’s recital of events. Bystander video showed the fatal attack on him and is linked below.

Jamie David Overstreet
Age :36
Gender :Male
Race : Black
Date : 08/24/2023
Location : S. High Street and Rowe Road
City : Columbus
County : Franklin
State : Ohio
Agency : Columbus Division of Police
Officer(s) : Names withheld under Marsy's Law
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during arrest
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On August 24, 2023, at approximately 10:40 PM, Columbus Police officers responded to a report of a man violating a protection order in the 1100 block of Rendezvous Lane. Officers attempted a traffic stop and claimed that Jamie David Overstreet, 36, did not stop. Police escalated the situation into a high-speed chase that continued for approximately five miles.
.
As a result of the pursuit, Overstreet’s vehicle collided with another car at Parsons Avenue and Corr Road. A Columbus Police helicopter was deployed to assist in tracking Overstreet’s movements. The pursuit concluded in the 1300 block of Marion Drive North, where Overstreet exited the vehicle and fled on foot.
.
Officers alleged that Overstreet displayed a firearm during the foot chase, and an officer opened fire, discharging five rounds and striking Overstreet once in the back. Overstreet was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:42 PM.
.
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation conducted an inquiry into the shooting. In September 2023, a Franklin County grand jury declined to indict the officers involved. Overstreet’s estranged wife later filed a federal civil lawsuit, alleging the use of deadly force was unjustified and claiming a lack of transparency regarding the incident. A federal court recently ordered the release of the officers’ names, despite the city citing Marsy’s Law to withhold their identities.
.
TOTAL FATALITIES/INJURIES: 1 fatality (Jamie David Overstreet)
