On July 26, 2021, around 8 p.m., Rankin County deputies responded to a call regarding burglary and vandalism. They spotted Damien Montrell Cameron exiting the woods. Police escalated a chase, apprehended Cameron. Police allege that he resisted. Police handcuffed him and placed him in the back of a police cruiser and when they returned an unspecified length of time later, they claim to have found him dead in handcuffs in the cruiser. This official police narrative is not collaborated by any bodycam or other evidence. While police omitted mention of injuries, photos submitted by his mother of him comatose in the hospital after the police assault shows significant injuries to his head and face. In addition, the sheriff’s office admitted that deputies handcuffed and locked him in a cruiser for an unspecified length of time prior to finding him dead in the vehicle. Temperatures were recorded at 98 degrees Fahrenheit in Braxton, MS on the day he was found dead in the locked cruiser. It is unknown whether and what types of injuries he may have had during arrest when police obliquely stated he had “resisted” and was overpowered by an unknown number of deputies. His mother is very outspoken and states that he was murdered by police.
.
Of note, the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office responsible for this fatal arrest has been under DOJ supervision as the “Goon Squad” of a number of severely racist officers terrorized and killed black residents. It is unknown whether the death of Damien Montrell Cameron was ever examined by the DOJ.

On July 16, 2021, officers from the Roswell Police Department and deputies from the Chaves County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a man threatening to shoot other residents in the 2300 block of Mills Drive in Roswell, New Mexico. When officers located Craig Heinzen, 64, outside the back of the residence, he was allegedly armed with one or more firearms and refused to comply with commands. Officer Leroy Smith, Deputy Isaac Nava, and Deputy Ben Conklin opened fire, killing Heinzen.

On July 16, 2021, at approximately 9:15 p.m., Montgomery County Police Department officers responded to a McDonald's at 18273 Flower Hill Way in Gaithersburg, Maryland, following reports of a customer refusing to pay or move his vehicle in the drive-thru lane. Upon arrival, officers found 21-year-old Ryan Nicholas LeRoux seated in the driver's seat of a white Honda CRV, with a handgun visible on the front passenger seat.
.
Officers attempted to engage with LeRoux for approximately 30 minutes, instructing him to show his hands and exit the vehicle. LeRoux, who was reportedly experiencing a mental health crisis, remained unresponsive to commands. During the standoff, officers observed LeRoux make movements interpreted as reaching for the firearm. At approximately 11:02 p.m., perceiving an imminent threat, four officers—Brooks Inman, Sara Vaughan, John Cerny, and Corporal Romund Schmuck—discharged their weapons, fatally striking LeRoux.
.
A loaded Glock 27 handgun was recovered from LeRoux's vehicle. The involved officers were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. In April 2022, a Montgomery County grand jury declined to indict the officers, determining that the shooting was legally justified.
.
LeRoux's family has since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Montgomery County and the officers involved, alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and questioning the adequacy of the police response to individuals experiencing mental health crises.
