Bryan Daniel Hall

Age :32

Gender :Male

Race : White

Date : 07/16/2025

Location : 3000 Block of Wymond Drive

City : Opelika

County : Lee

State : Alabama

Agency : Opelika Police Department, Lee County SWAT

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during domestic disturbance call

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

At approximately 10:41 p.m. on July 16, 2025, the Opelika Police Department received a 911 call reporting a domestic violence incident at a residence on the 3000 block of Wymond Drive involving a man armed with a weapon. Bryan Daniel Hall, 32, was inside the home, barricaded with a woman and a 2-year-old child.
The woman was able to escape unharmed during the early phase of the standoff, but the toddler remained inside with Hall. Due to the potentially volatile situation involving a minor, law enforcement escalated their response and activated the Lee County SWAT Team, which deployed tactical units including heavily armed officers wearing ballistic gear and long rifles.
Neighbors reported seeing an intense police presence with more than 17 marked and unmarked police vehicles, including a tank truck and armored personnel carrier, surrounding the residence. Officers established a secure perimeter and attempted multiple negotiation efforts through phone and loudspeaker, which remained largely unsuccessful.
The standoff lasted several hours, during which officers monitored the situation closely, coordinating with child welfare agencies to prepare for the rescue of the child. Eventually, under undisclosed but critical operational circumstances, officers opened fire, fatally wounding Hall. The 2-year-old child was subsequently rescued unharmed from the residence.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) has launched an independent investigation into the incident, reviewing bodycam footage, radio transmissions, and tactical decision-making. All involved officers have been placed on administrative leave during the review. Findings will be submitted to the Lee County District Attorney’s Office for grand jury consideration. The case has sparked community debate about law enforcement’s handling of domestic disturbances involving vulnerable children and the use of lethal force.

Orlando Silva-Lemus

Age :25

Gender :Male

Race : Latino/a/e

Date : 07/16/2025

Location : Broadway near 54th Street

City : Galveston

County : Galveston

State : Texas

Agency : Harris County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office, Galveston Police Department

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during chase

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 16, 2025, law enforcement initiated a stop attempt on a stolen pickup truck driven by 25-year-old Orlando Silva-Lemus near Houston's Hobby Airport. Silva-Lemus refused to comply, triggering a high-speed, multi-county pursuit that extended over 30 miles, involving multiple law enforcement agencies including the Harris County Precinct 2 Constable’s Office and the Galveston Police Department.
During the pursuit, Silva-Lemus allegedly fired several rounds at pursuing officers’ vehicles, significantly escalating the danger. Police deployed spike strips on the Gulf Freeway (I-45) in an attempt to disable the vehicle, and eventually performed a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver near Broadway and 54th Street in Galveston to bring the chase to an end.
After the vehicle was stopped, Silva-Lemus exited the truck armed with a handgun and immediately opened fire on officers. Responding officers returned fire, fatally wounding him at the scene. No officers were reported injured during the shootout.
The incident prompted a massive multi-agency response across Houston and Galveston, temporarily shutting down key highways and prompting alerts to nearby residents. Investigators are currently reviewing dashcam and bodycam footage as part of the investigation. The Texas Rangers and local district attorneys are overseeing the inquiry into the use of deadly force and pursuit tactics.
Community reactions have been mixed, with some praising law enforcement’s efforts to bring the pursuit safely to an end, while others raise concerns about the risks posed by high-speed chases in urban areas.

Event : Bystander killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 14, 2025, shortly after 5:00 p.m., Milwaukee Police Department officers initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle near 37th Street and Fond du Lac Avenue for equipment violations. The driver refused to pull over and immediately fled southbound, prompting officers to escalate the situation into a high-speed pursuit.
Traveling at speeds reaching up to 106 mph through dense urban traffic, the fleeing vehicle careened dangerously through intersections. Within seconds, the driver lost control and crashed into a bus stop shelter located at the busy intersection of Sherman Boulevard and Fond du Lac Avenue.
Lorenzo Martin, age 55, was waiting inside the bus shelter at the time. The force of the crash caused the vehicle to strike Martin with devastating impact. Emergency responders arrived quickly but pronounced Martin dead at the scene due to catastrophic blunt force trauma.
The crash scene caused significant damage to the bus shelter and disrupted traffic flow in the area. Witnesses described the vehicle's reckless driving moments before the crash and expressed shock and grief over the innocent bystander's death.
The Milwaukee Police Department launched an internal investigation alongside a review by the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office. The identity and condition of the fleeing driver have not been publicly disclosed, and it remains unclear whether any charges will be filed related to the pursuit and fatal crash.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 14, 2025, deputies from the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office responded to multiple reports of an armed man at the popular Fort Custer Recreation Area near Augusta, Michigan. The situation prompted a large-scale evacuation of the campground and beach area around 5:00 p.m., displacing dozens of visitors and campers for public safety.
Law enforcement established a perimeter and deployed negotiators to engage with the man, who had barricaded himself inside his vehicle parked within the recreation area. Despite ongoing negotiations spanning several hours, the man remained uncooperative and ultimately died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the vehicle.

The Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office is overseeing the investigation, with cooperation from state agencies. Body camera footage and communication logs from negotiators are being reviewed to understand the sequence of events and to evaluate the response procedures.

On the evening of July 14, 2025, a multi-agency unit known as the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force executed a search warrant at an apartment in Indianapolis’s 4500 block of East Washington Street, citing probable cause linking the resident to violent firearms violations.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 13, 2025, an Osceola County deputy observed Derik Bonet-Rodriguez running erratically in and out of traffic on N Main Street near Vine Street in Kissimmee.

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police after pursuit

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On the morning of July 13, 2025, a Kentucky State Police trooper, later identified as Trooper Zachary Mills, initiated a traffic stop involving Guy House on Old Richmond Road near Jacobson Park. During the stop, House reportedly exited the vehicle and opened fire, shooting Trooper Mills in the abdomen. Despite being seriously wounded, Mills was able to call for backup, and House fled the scene.
House allegedly drove to a second location, where police say he carjacked a woman at gunpoint to steal a second vehicle. He then proceeded to Richmond Road Baptist Church on 3895 Richmond Road, arriving during a Sunday morning church service. Armed with a handgun, House reportedly entered the sanctuary and began shooting, fatally wounding two women, later identified as Beverly Gumm, 70, and Christina Combs, 50. At least four others were injured, including a child, according to multiple reports.
Police tracked the second vehicle to the church, where House was encountered inside or near the sanctuary. A confrontation occurred under unclear circumstances, and multiple Lexington Division of Police officers opened fire, killing House. The exact sequence of this final encounter, including whether House fired at police again, is currently under investigation. House died at the scene. The officers who opened fire have not been publicly identified, and their current duty status is unknown.
Trooper Mills was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital and is expected to recover. Emergency services arrived rapidly at both crime scenes. The injured churchgoers received treatment at local hospitals, with no updated conditions publicly available.
The Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team is leading the investigation into the officer-involved shooting. There has been no public update regarding possible body camera footage, and officials have not confirmed whether House acted alone or what his motive was. The church community held a vigil the day after the incident. Family members of the victims have called for increased safety and transparency from law enforcement.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On the morning of July 13, 2025, El Paso police officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting a man behaving erratically and climbing over the barrier along Interstate 10 near Yarbrough Drive. The man was identified as 30-year-old Xavier Guadalupe Hernandez. Eyewitnesses stated that Hernandez appeared to be in distress and was attempting to jump off the overpass, prompting an emergency mental health intervention response.
When officers arrived, they found Hernandez perched on the highway barrier. Police negotiators attempted to talk him down, but according to the El Paso Police Department, he became physically combative and noncompliant as officers approached him. After a brief verbal engagement, police deployed a Taser, aiming to subdue him without lethal force.
Following the Taser deployment, Hernandez became unresponsive. Officers began CPR and emergency medical aid at the scene until paramedics arrived. He was transported to Del Sol Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
The Texas Rangers and the El Paso Police Department’s Crimes Against Persons Unit have launched parallel investigations into the use of force. An internal affairs review is also underway, and the names of the involved officers have not been released. Officials have not confirmed how many times the Taser was deployed or whether body camera footage exists or will be made public.
Attorney Gabriel Perez, representing Hernandez’s family, told local media that they were shocked and devastated by his death, emphasizing that Xavier was in the midst of a mental health crisis and needed help—not force.

Authorities have not publicly confirmed whether her death occurred before or during the police response. Initial statements suggest Kerr may have shot and killed her prior to the officers’ arrival, but the timeline remains under investigation.
Police have not confirmed how many officers discharged their weapons, what type of firearm Kerr used, or whether body camera footage will be released. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) is handling the use-of-force investigation, while the Butler County Prosecutor’s Office is overseeing the case review.
As of this writing, the names of the involved officers remain undisclosed, and their duty status has not been publicly updated. No prior criminal record or domestic violence history for Kerr has been reported in available public records.
The incident has prompted community concerns over escalating domestic violence and mental health responses. A growing memorial has formed near the Mohawk Street residence in remembrance of Lisa Gilbert, whose family described her as kind and generous. Autopsies for both Kerr and Gilbert are pending, and further details are expected once BCI completes its investigation.

State : Michigan

Agency : Roseville Police Department

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Bystander killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On Saturday, July 12, 2025, Roseville Police officers began pursuing a 16-year-old male driving a stolen Hyundai Sonata, reportedly taken from a dealership lot earlier that day. The pursuit entered the city of Warren and reached dangerously high speeds, though police have not publicly disclosed how fast the teen was driving or whether officers followed departmental pursuit policy.
At approximately 3:20 p.m., at the intersection of 11 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue, the teen driver ran a red light while being chased and collided with a vehicle operated by 28-year-old Alex Habib, who was working as an Uber driver at the time. Habib’s vehicle was struck at high speed and heavily damaged. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead from crash-related injuries.
Habib was a married father of two and a resident of Madison Heights. He had reportedly just picked up a passenger before the crash. According to statements from his widow, Habib was a hardworking husband who had no involvement with the chase and was simply caught in the path of a reckless pursuit initiated by police.
The 16-year-old driver was taken into custody after the crash and faces multiple felony charges, including felony murder, fleeing and eluding, and unlawful use of a motor vehicle. His identity has not been released due to his age.
The Roseville Police Department has not confirmed whether officers were following protocol, using lights and sirens throughout the chase, or whether the decision to pursue a stolen vehicle justified the risk in a dense urban area. The incident is under investigation by Macomb County authorities, but no officers have been placed on leave and no internal review findings have been made public.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On the morning of July 12, 2025, James Raymond Kemp, 39, called 911 and reported that he had fatally shot his 37-year-old brother, Christopher Kemp, at their shared residence at 1609 West Second Street in North Platte, Nebraska. The initial call triggered a multi-agency response, including officers from the North Platte Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, and Nebraska State Patrol.
Upon arrival, officers found themselves in an active standoff situation. James Kemp had reportedly barricaded himself inside the home with his 11-year-old son, refusing to allow the child to leave. Police set up a perimeter and initiated a lengthy negotiation process with Kemp.
At approximately 9:45 a.m., Kemp agreed to release the child, who was safely removed from the residence by officers. Just minutes later, officers on the perimeter reported hearing a single gunshot from inside the home. A tactical team made entry and found James Kemp dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His brother, Christopher Kemp, was located deceased inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds.
Officials have not confirmed whether Kemp made any additional threats, left a note, or was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Nebraska State Patrol is leading the ongoing investigation, which includes autopsy results, firearm tracing, and motive determination.
Police confirmed the 11-year-old child is now in the custody of other family members. No information has been released regarding past domestic incidents, restraining orders, or mental health history involving either Kemp brother.
