OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Maria del Rosario Sanchez Cerda was a passenger aboard the Transportes Guerra bus involved in a catastrophic multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 35 southbound near Cassin Road on July 17, 2025.
The collision was initiated when a stolen white Chevrolet Camaro, being pursued by San Antonio police at high speed, struck the rear trailer of the bus. This impact caused the bus to lose control, careen violently into the guardrail, and then collide broadside with an oncoming semi-truck. The force of the crash caused the bus to overturn, trapping many passengers and causing severe injuries and fatalities.
Sanchez Cerda was killed instantly at the scene, as a result of blunt force trauma from the bus overturning. The accident left wreckage scattered across the highway, complicating rescue efforts and requiring a large-scale response involving fire, EMS, law enforcement, and highway authorities. Emergency personnel worked for hours to extract survivors and clear the roadway.
The crash involved four vehicles total, resulted in five deaths, including Sanchez Cerda, and injured at least 21 people, including children and elderly passengers.
Investigators are reviewing the pursuit tactics used by police and the sequence of events leading to the collision. The incident caused significant disruption to traffic on I-35, with the highway closed for several hours during rescue and investigation operations. Families of the victims have been notified, and support services are being coordinated.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On the morning of July 17, 2025, Stockton police responded at approximately 7:58 a.m. to reports of a shooting incident at the CrossFit gym located on West Eight Mile Road near the Elkhorn Athletic Club.
Officers arrived to find two men suffering from gunshot wounds. One was identified as Robert Nelson Jr., who was transported in critical condition to a nearby hospital but later succumbed to his injuries. The other was Miguel López Cuen, a retired California Highway Patrol officer, who was determined to be the shooter.
Investigations revealed a harrowing sequence of events: earlier that morning in Garden Grove, López Cuen had fatally shot his wife in what authorities have classified as a murder-suicide situation. Following this, López Cuen traveled to Stockton where he fatally shot Nelson. Authorities believe there is a personal connection between the two men, though specific motives remain under investigation.
The Stockton Police Department continues to coordinate with multiple agencies to piece together the timeline and circumstances surrounding these violent acts. The case has drawn significant attention due to López Cuen's law enforcement background and the apparent premeditation involved.
No officers were physically involved in the shooting but have been assisting in the ongoing investigation. Authorities have not released further information on the relationship between López Cuen and Nelson.

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.

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 : Driver killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Around 10:45 p.m. on July 15, 2025, Brighton Police Department officers initiated a traffic stop for a Dodge Charger observed driving recklessly on West Grand River Avenue. The driver failed to comply and accelerated, prompting officers to escalate to a high-speed pursuit.
The chase traversed multiple residential neighborhoods, including Beaver Street, East Street, Flint Road, and Hilton Road, with speeds reported to have exceeded 70 mph at times. Officers activated emergency lights and sirens throughout the pursuit.
At one point, the Charger entered Old U.S. 23 southbound at a dangerous velocity, crossing the center line into oncoming traffic and sideswiping a vehicle, triggering a chain-reaction collision involving multiple cars. The Charger subsequently rolled over several times before coming to rest.
The sole occupant of the Dodge Charger, identified only as a male, was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency responders. Other involved drivers sustained only minor injuries, with all occupants reported to have been wearing seatbelts.
Preliminary investigations indicated the possible influence of alcohol or drugs contributing to the driver’s reckless behavior. Toxicology results are pending.
Officers on scene administered standard pursuit protocols, but no injuries to law enforcement personnel were reported.
The Livingston County Sheriff’s Office and Michigan State Police are assisting Brighton Police in the ongoing investigation, including crash reconstruction and evidence collection. The incident has sparked community discussions on the safety protocols of high-speed police chases through populated neighborhoods.
The Brighton Police Department has stated that it will conduct a full internal review of the chase to assess adherence to departmental policies and to consider potential policy changes.

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.

After being handcuffed and restrained, Bonet-Rodriguez became unresponsive within minutes. Deputies immediately called for medical assistance, and paramedics transported him to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has opened an independent investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the use of the taser, the conduct of deputies, and the cause of death. The autopsy results have not been publicly released but are awaited to clarify whether taser deployment directly contributed to his death or if other medical factors were involved.
Bonet-Rodriguez’s family has publicly demanded answers and transparency, alleging excessive force. The incident has raised concerns locally about law enforcement use of force policies, particularly in encounters involving individuals exhibiting erratic or potentially impaired behavior.
No names of involved deputies have been disclosed, and they remain on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

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.

Age :30

Race : Latino/a/e

Location : Interstate 10 and Yarbrough Drive
City : El Paso
County : El Paso
State : Texas
Agency : El Paso Police Department
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Asphyxiation
Event : Died after being tased by police during mental health crisis intervention
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.

Event : Killed by police during domestic violence call
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On Sunday, July 13, 2025, Middletown Police officers responded to a domestic violence call and welfare check at a residence at 3013 Mohawk Street. Reports indicated that a woman inside the home was possibly in danger. Upon arrival, officers encountered 60-year-old Ronald Hazen Kerr, who was allegedly involved in a violent altercation with a female resident, later identified as Lisa Marie Gilbert, 53.
According to official statements, officers attempted to communicate with Kerr, who was inside the home and initially refused to exit or cooperate. After a brief attempt at negotiation, Kerr reportedly fired a weapon at the officers from within the residence. Officers returned fire, striking Kerr multiple times. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers later entered the residence and found Lisa Gilbert deceased inside the home from apparent gunshot wounds. 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.
