County : Adams
State : Colorado
Agency : Aurora Police Department
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during traffic stop
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 08/30/2025, Aurora Police Department officers initiated a traffic stop on Rajon Belt-Stubblefield, 34. Police forced him into a crash near 6th Avenue and Billings Street, then confronted him after the collision. Rajon exited the vehicle, discarded a handgun into the grass, and was unarmed when police bore down on him. Within 85 seconds of the first command, officers escalated the encounter, struck him in the head after his back was turned, and then opened fire. Police shot him twice in the chest and delivered a final shot to the head, killing him on the ground.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing the family, denounced the killing as an “execution” and “murder,” saying deadly force was unnecessary and that Rajon was already injured from the crash. The family insists police could have used less-lethal options and argues the bodycam video shows Rajon did not pose an imminent threat when he was shot. Advocates point to Aurora’s long record of violence against Black men, including the case of Elijah McClain, and say this shooting continues a pattern of racially biased policing. The family is demanding criminal charges against the officer, release of his disciplinary history, and full transparency from Aurora officials, rejecting the department’s narrative as an attempt to justify what they call an unjust killing.
