County : Mercer
State : Ohio
Agency : Celina PD
Officer(s) : David Powell, Justin Rice
Cause of death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during cannabis traffic stop
Disposition : No Known charges
Open records summary :
Celina PD at 2 a.m. arrived at a park conducting an investigation into possible marijuana smell coming from a car. Police began an altercation and Andrew allegedly refused to exit his car and instead tried to drive away. He drove past an officer who fell down and hit his head. Celina PD then fired shots into the moving vehicle, killing Corey Andrew, 24, in front of his girlfriend Hannah Pawelski and their newborn baby who were fortunate not to be hit by police shooting at the vehicle. Police allege that he “drove toward police” and released partial dashcam and bodycam videos linked below. Andrew appeared to try to drive past the officer and did not make any visible turns to try to hit him. Police later claimed that he tried to run the officer over. This is not seen on video and he appeared to try to drive away, did not touch the officer who is seen falling on his own. Police Chief Tom Wale stated: “So independent investigators, independent prosecutor presenting it to the grand jury to determine that the officers are justified," seemingly revealing that the anticipated outcome that this killing will be Justified by a grand jury may be predetermined. Ohio police created this incident by attempting to make a petty cannabis possession bust and ended up executing a young father who tried to drive away from the confrontation.

Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police after car chase
Disposition : No Known charges
Open records summary :
Newnan PD saw a Corvette with dark window tint and took up chase. The chase escalated until the man stopped. Police released a K9 and allege that he exited the car and came toward them with a knife and injured the K9.
Bystander video later showed a very different narrative in which the car stopped at the end of the chase, deputies are seen busting out the car windows, sending a K9 into the vehicle that dragged a black man out. The man ran away from the car to escape the dog that was biting at his arm. His arms were pointed downward in gestures protecting his body from the attacking dog and on video, he had no visible weapon and shielded against the dog attack. Police shot and killed him. Media submitted the privately acquired heavily edited BWC footage that edited the killing out while police refuse to provide any video or reports at all. The initial police story was proven by video to be untruthful.

Location : Lewis Lake+Union Dale
City : Lewis Lake
County : Susquehanna
State : Pennsylvania
Agency : Susquehanna County SO
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police under undisclosed circumstances
Disposition : No Known charges
Open records summary :
On August 24, 2023, the decedent was sitting in his parked car in rural Susquehanna County at Lewis Lake. He had recently moved back from Florida to a childhood home near the lake where his family owned land and was visiting the area. A Pennsylvania State Police trooper arrived and according to his messages to family, the trooper harassed him, possibly for a second time within several days.
On 08/24/2023, the man was in his car by the lake when he was again approached by what is believed to be the same local trooper. He was able to respond, answered the trooper's questions that yes, he had legal guns packed and locked away in the back of the vehicle when asked about guns. He was moving back to PA and had his belongings with him and answered truthfully that everything including guns were stowed away in the car. He was able to text message this information to his family during the stop.
It is unknown what happened to escalate things but the trooper after an argument fired 10 bullets in his face, killing him.
PSP claims that they do not have any BWC footage. They refuse to disclose the name of the shooter trooper but expect the family to believe the undocumented narrative that he had made a threatening move during the traffic stop that required this point blank execution. The family is unable to get any more information nor his belongings back to date while PSP are investigating themselves. THe man's identity is known and withheld per the family's request.
