On October 10, 2024, Hollywood Police Department officers responded to a reported dispute between neighbors over a damaged fence in the 6600 block of Eaton Street in Hollywood, Florida.

On October 10, 2024, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) deputies responded to a report of a drug transaction in the Arlington area. Officers alleged that they witnessed Dejuane Aki Hayden engaging in a drug deal, with firearms visible. When officers attempted to approach, Hayden fled on foot.

Officer Bradley Griffitts pursued Hayden, and according to JSO, Hayden was observed holding a firearm as he ran. Officers fired, striking him once in the back while he was fleeing, with his back turned to police. Hayden was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Body-worn camera footage from the incident, released to the public, shows Hayden holding a gun while running away from the officers. The footage has raised questions, as it appears Hayden was not facing the officers when he was shot.

On October 9, 2024, Tourmaria Foreman, 32, was among eight individuals affected by a suspected mass overdose at Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles. Seven inmates were injured, and one other individual—Foreman—died following the incident. The overdose event prompted emergency response teams, including a hazardous materials unit, to investigate. Foreman, along with others, had been exposed to a substance within the facility. Although it was not immediately clear what caused the overdose, authorities are continuing to investigate the source of the substance.
The sheriff's department confirmed that no further hazards were present following the incident, though other safety protocols, including searches with body scanners and K-9 teams, have been enhanced to prevent the introduction of illicit substances into the facility. This incident follows a similar overdose situation at the same location a few weeks prior, raising concerns about substance infiltration in the jail system.
