Location : Decathlon Drive

City : Virginia Beach

County : Virginia Beach

State : Virginia

Agency : Virginia Beach Police Department, SWAT

Officer(s) : Unknown

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during domestic disturbance

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On January 30, 2023, at approximately 9:30 PM, Virginia Beach Police Department officers responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic incident involving 48-year-old Craig Alan Byl, who was armed with multiple firearms and threatening harm to himself and others at a residence on Decathlon Drive.
.
Upon arrival, officers safely evacuated a female from the residence and established dialogue with Byl, who was observed entering and exiting the home while pointing a shotgun at himself. Negotiations continued for nearly three hours. Around 12:14 AM on January 31, Byl exited the residence with a handgun pointed at his head and continued to brandish different firearms over the next hour.
.
At approximately 1:15 AM, officers deployed less-lethal munitions in an attempt to subdue Byl, but these measures were ineffective. Byl retreated into the residence and fired multiple rounds at officers through windows using a shotgun and a handgun. Officers returned fire. After the exchange, the VBPD SWAT unit entered the home and found Byl deceased just inside the front door. A shotgun, a 9mm pistol, and several spent cartridge cases were recovered at the scene.
.
The preliminary investigation suggests that Byl's fatal injuries were the result of police gunfire; however, the official cause of death will be determined by the Norfolk Medical Examiner's Office. No officers were injured during the incident. The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of both criminal and administrative investigations to assess compliance with departmental policies and training.

Laila Rose Houser

Age :17

Gender :Female

Race : White

Date : 01/30/2023

Location : Highway 1 and Richardson Boulevard

City : Midlands

County : Kershaw

State : South Carolina

Agency : South Carolina Highway Patrol

Officer(s) : Unknown

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Laila Rose Hauser was parked in a Dollar General parking lot at 1 a.m. An South Carolina Highway Patrol officer drove up next to her. Apparently feeling uncomfortable, she drove away. The officer followed and attempted a traffic stop. Laila Rose Hauser did not stop and the officer escalated a high-speed chase which caused her to run into a tree and die. She had committed no crime and seemed to be afraid of the police chase only. Houser’s father used to be an employee for the same Sheriff’s Office that chased Laila Houser to her death. Oddly, Laila Hauser did not seem to trust the officer from her father’s former PD and fled from him. No officers were charged.
