On 06/01/2021, Annapolis police responded to a 911 call placed by Renardo Green’s wife requesting help because he was behaving erratically and harming himself. Police arrived at the home and restrained Green. After emergency medical personnel arrived, Green was placed face-down on a gurney while handcuffed and transported toward a hospital. During transport, he became unresponsive. Green remained hospitalized and died three days later. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide, citing cardiac arrest caused by prone restraint. The case drew public scrutiny after the ruling, and body-worn camera footage of the police interaction was later released. A civil rights lawsuit filed by Green’s family was ultimately dismissed, and no officers were charged.

On May 31, 2021, at approximately 9:30 a.m., the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office requested assistance from the Louisiana State Police regarding an armed individual, Michael Jackson, a 29-year-old Black male from Vicksburg, Mississippi, who had locked himself in his vehicle on U.S. Highway 65, north of Tallulah, Louisiana.
.
Earlier that day, Jackson had fled from Warren County Sheriff's deputies in Mississippi, allegedly dragging them with his vehicle as they attempted to arrest him on outstanding warrants.
.
Upon being located by Madison Parish deputies, Jackson fled and crashed into a ditch alongside U.S. Highway 65. He then produced a handgun, leading deputies to secure the scene and call for assistance.
.
Louisiana State Police personnel, including police negotiators, arrived and engaged in a standoff. During this time, Jackson exhibited erratic behavior, such as shooting into his own vehicle and walking into an adjacent field with the firearm. The police fired less-lethal weapons in an attempt to disarm him. Subsequently, Jackson approached the safety perimeter and attempted to draw his handgun, prompting troopers to open fire, resulting in his death.

Police said the Volkswagen apparently struck a guardrail before entering the water. Poor lighting and darkness affected visibility in the area.
.
Doral police summoned Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. A rescue diver entered the canal and removed the driver from the submerged vehicle. Fire-rescue personnel performed CPR and transported him by air to a hospital, where he died. No passengers were inside the Volkswagen.
.
Miami-Dade Police Department Homicide Bureau investigated the death.

.
REASON FOR CHASE: Troy Police Officer Shane Marker went to Imperial Court intending to arrest Jalen Alexander on outstanding Miami and Greene County warrants. Marker knew Alexander was associated with a red Jeep Cherokee parked there but could not see who was driving when the Jeep left. Marker followed the Jeep as it drove legally through the neighborhood and initiated a traffic stop for its darkly tinted windows. When the driver continued, Marker initiated a pursuit.
.
NARRATIVE:
On 03/30/2021, shortly before 8:00 a.m., Troy Police Officer Shane Marker located a red Jeep Cherokee associated with Jalen Alexander parked and running at an Imperial Court residence. Marker knew Alexander had outstanding warrants and that Troy police had previously arrested him following an alleged March 7 shooting. Marker could not see who was inside the Jeep because of its tinted windows. Rather than approach or block the parked vehicle, Marker positioned his cruiser out of sight nearby and waited for it to leave.
.
When the Jeep left, Marker followed it. The Jeep stopped at a stop sign and otherwise drove legally through the residential neighborhood. Marker could not identify the driver but believed Alexander might be driving. Marker activated his emergency lights and initiated a traffic stop based on the Jeep's dark window tint. When the Jeep continued, Marker initiated a high-speed pursuit.
.
Marker pursued through 25-mph residential streets at speeds reaching approximately 50 to 65 mph before continuing south onto State Route 202. Sgt. John Marshall, Capt. Zachariah Mumford and Chief Shawn McKinney monitored the pursuit by radio as it developed.
.
On State Route 202, Marker continued the pursuit at speeds exceeding 100 mph. Marker’s cruiser video documented the police vehicle exceeding 100 mph, proceeding through red lights and occasionally crossing the center line while following the Jeep. Marker backed off at some intersections because of the danger of striking other motorists but continued the pursuit with his emergency lights and siren activated.
.
Traffic increased as the pursuit continued toward Huber Heights. Marker passed a school bus at approximately 102 mph. Chief McKinney instructed Marker to terminate the pursuit when he reached what McKinney called “Huber Heights traffic,” an area understood by the officers to be approximately 100 to 200 yards beyond the intersection of State Route 202 and U.S. Route 40. The pursuit therefore remained authorized through the intersection where Vollmer was subsequently killed.
.
Miami County sheriff’s deputies positioned stop sticks on State Route 202 near Ross Road. The Jeep struck the stop sticks, but police did not terminate the pursuit. Marker slowed temporarily while deputies removed the stop sticks and then accelerated again, reaching approximately 104 mph while continuing toward U.S. Route 40.
.
Chelsey Vollmer, 32, was driving to daycare with her 17-month-old daughter, Ezra, secured in a car seat. At State Route 202 and U.S. Route 40, the Jeep entered the intersection against a red light and struck the driver's side of Vollmer's vehicle at approximately 108 mph. Vollmer was killed. Her daughter survived and was extricated from the wreckage and transported to Dayton Children’s Hospital.
.
The Jeep's driver, Jalen Alexander, 19, also died. Passenger Tashaya Tipton survived with injuries. Troy police Sgt. John Marshall later testified that the police pursuit had never been terminated before the fatal impact.
.
Cruiser-camera video recorded the pursuit. Police records documented speeds reaching 120 mph and officers reporting at several points that they were backing off because of traffic, but Marker continued pursuing the Jeep.
.
CIVIL LITIGATION:
In 2023, Vollmer's estate sued the City of Troy, Officer Shane Marker, Sgt. John Marshall, Capt. Zachariah Mumford and Chief Shawn McKinney over the fatal pursuit. The lawsuit alleged that police continued an extremely dangerous pursuit for more than 11 miles at speeds exceeding 120 mph despite increasing traffic and opportunities to terminate it.
.
On 10/22/2025, the trial court denied the officers' request for summary judgment based on statutory immunity, finding that a jury could conclude Marker acted recklessly and that Marshall, Mumford and McKinney acted recklessly by monitoring the pursuit without stopping it. The court cited the weekday morning timing, speeds exceeding 100 mph, Marker passing a school bus at 102 mph, the nature of the offenses, available alternatives to a high-speed pursuit and the decision to allow the pursuit to continue through the intersection where Vollmer was killed.
.
On 07/02/2026, the Ohio Second District Court of Appeals reversed that ruling. The appellate court held that Marker, Marshall, Mumford and McKinney were entitled to statutory immunity and ordered the trial court to enter judgment in their favor. The appellate court concluded that the officers' conduct did not meet Ohio's legal threshold for wanton or reckless conduct.

REASON FOR CHASE: At approximately 10:50 p.m., a Holton Police Department officer attempted to stop a 2009 Dodge Avenger driven by Robert E. Love Jr. in Holton. Love continued northbound on U.S. Highway 75 and the Holton officer initiated a pursuit. Available reporting does not disclose the specific reason police attempted the initial stop.
.
NARRATIVE:
On 05/27/2021, at approximately 10:50 p.m., a Holton police officer attempted to stop a 2009 Dodge Avenger in Holton. When the driver continued northbound on U.S. Highway 75, the officer pursued. Shai Lorene Chantele Boyd, 26, and 19-year-old Ciara Evertson were passengers in the Avenger.
.
The pursuit continued north out of Holton on U.S. 75. Police followed the Avenger east onto 254th Road and then north on W Road. Jackson County Sheriff’s Office deputies joined the pursuit after being advised that Holton police were pursuing the vehicle north of the city.
.
The pursuit continued onto 286th Road approximately seven miles north of Holton. A Jackson County sheriff’s deputy was pursuing the Avenger westbound as it approached U.S. Highway 75. The Avenger entered the U.S. 75 intersection without stopping and collided with a southbound 2018 Jeep Renegade.
.
Boyd was killed in the collision and pronounced dead at the scene. The Avenger’s driver and Evertson sustained suspected serious injuries and were transported to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka. The Jeep’s driver, 41-year-old Sara Ditch, and passenger, 56-year-old Scott Ditch, sustained suspected minor injuries and were also transported for treatment.
.
Boyd was a mother of three children. Her family obituary identified her as Shai Lorene Chantele Boyd, born 09/13/1994 in Topeka.
.
The Kansas Highway Patrol investigated the fatal collision. The investigation ultimately resulted in criminal charges against the fleeing driver more than a year after Boyd’s death.
.
DISPOSITION:
The fleeing driver was Robert Love Jr. In November 2022, prosecutors charged Love with first-degree murder, three counts of aggravated battery while driving under the influence, fleeing or attempting to elude police, and additional misdemeanor and traffic offenses arising from the fatal pursuit.
.
Love later pleaded no contest to two counts of aggravated battery while driving under the influence, one count of aggravated battery and one count of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer. Prosecutors dismissed the first-degree murder charge and the remaining misdemeanor and traffic counts as part of the plea agreement.
.
In February 2024, Love was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with credit for 383 days already served, followed by 36 months of post-release supervision.

NARRATIVE:
On 05/27/2021, at approximately 12:50 a.m., off-duty Metropolitan Police Department Officer Austin Kirk Smith was driving a 2018 Dodge Charger southbound on Southern Maryland Boulevard after leaving work. Smith was traveling approximately 105 mph as he approached Lower Pindell Road, where the posted speed limit was 55 mph.
.
Nicholas Raymond Harris, 21, was the front-seat passenger in a Chevrolet Equinox driven by his girlfriend, Leah Mae Foster, 23. Foster was crossing Southern Maryland Boulevard onto Lower Pindell Road when Smith's Charger struck the Equinox on the passenger side. Harris and Foster were pronounced dead at the scene. Smith sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was airlifted to a hospital.
.
Anne Arundel County police initially attributed the crash to the Equinox driver failing to yield the right of way. A subsequent crash reconstruction established that Smith had been traveling approximately 105 mph before impact. Prosecutors later concluded that Smith's driving warranted criminal prosecution.
.
Harris was a 2017 graduate of Northern High School in Owings. He played football and basketball growing up and later played adult flag football and refereed youth football games. His obituary described Foster as his girlfriend and said his parents believed she was going to be his soulmate.
.
DISPOSITION:
Prosecutors charged Smith with two felony counts of manslaughter by vehicle, two misdemeanor negligent-driving counts, reckless driving and negligent driving. The Metropolitan Police Department placed Smith on administrative leave.
.
Smith pleaded guilty in January 2023 to two counts of negligent manslaughter. On 03/24/2023, Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Stacy McCormack sentenced him to 20 years with all but 18 months suspended, followed by five years of supervised probation.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
Austin Kirk Smith joined the Metropolitan Police Department in 2019. Several months after killing Harris and Foster, MPD awarded Smith a Ribbon of Valor on 10/18/2021. Smith was subsequently placed on administrative leave after he was criminally charged in connection with the fatal crash.
