Event : Bystander killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 06/14/2025, Carmel police pursued a stolen Kia Sportage at high speed until the vehicle crossed the centerline on Meridian Street near 64th Street in Indianapolis and struck the vehicle of Kevin McKelvey, 47, who was driving his 12-year-old son home. McKelvey sustained head injuries that caused ongoing confusion and memory loss. On 06/29/2025, he died of a pulmonary embolism that the coroner linked to injuries from the crash. His death reignited debate over Carmel’s pursuit policies, which warn against high-risk chases where the need for immediate apprehension is low. Mitchell was charged with resisting law enforcement, criminal recklessness, reckless driving, unlawful carrying of a gun, and driving on a suspended license. McKelvey was a poet who taught at the University of Indianapolis.

On June 29, 2025, 20-year-old Wess Val Roley deliberately set a brush fire on Canfield Mountain in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, intending to ambush first responders. When firefighters arrived and asked him to move his vehicle, he opened fire, killing two battalion chiefs — Frank Harwood (42) and John Morrison (52) — and critically injuring firefighter David Tysdal. A massive multi-agency manhunt involving over 300 officers, SWAT, FBI, and ATF units ensued. Authorities tracked Roley using cellphone signals, ultimately finding him dead near a firearm later that day in what was reported as a suicide. Originally from Phoenix and most recently living in Idaho, Roley had no major criminal history but was described as an aspiring firefighter who had worked as an arborist and was living in his vehicle. His motive for the calculated attack remains under investigation.

Event : Killed by police during bank robbery
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On June 27, 2025, Allen entered a branch of Mercantile Bank on State Street in Saginaw Township and demanded money from the single employee present. The employee, on a phone call, alerted authorities via 9-1-1. Officers and the MSP Emergency Response Team responded, and Allen barricaded the branch for approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes, taking the employee hostage and making demands that included $10,000 cash, a Faygo soda, and potato chips. Law enforcement deployed a drone to deliver the food items to Allen in an effort to secure the hostage’s release. At one point, Allen used the hostage as a human shield while opening the bank door to retrieve the delivery. A trooper positioned about 115 yards away fired one shot, fatally striking Allen and ending the standoff. The Michigan Attorney General’s Office concluded the trooper’s use of force was a justified defense of others.
