County : Berkeley

Officer(s) : Off-Duty Officer Anthony DeLustro
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by off-duty officer for unknown reasons
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Off-duty Summerville officer Anthony DeLustro was involved in a fight which began as verbal argument in the Chik-Fil-A parking lot with Michael O’Neal. The argument escalated into a physical brawl initiated by DeLustro who was both described and also filmed by bystanders to be the main aggressor. O’Neal attempted to defend himself and then entered his vehicle and was seen trying to escape from the attack. At that point, the wife of Officer DeLustro grabbed, subdued and restrained O’Neal to prevent him from driving away from the confrontation. DeLustro is seen entering the vehicle of O’Neal and shooting and killing him point blank. O’Neal was the son of a decorated North Carolina retired officer and grandson of the respective police chief of Winston-Salem. DeLustro stated that he identified himself as police and presented his badge, O’Neal’s family emphatically denies this story could be true, stating that O’Neal came from a law enforcement family and would not fight police. There is sufficient video and eyewitness evidence suggesting that DeLustro was the main aggressor and O’Neal was unarmed, retreating and attempting to avoid the confrontation while he was murdered by the officer who had forced himself into his vehicle. Officer Anthony DeLustro, a former NYPD cop who left NYPD for unknown reasons and became Officer DeLustro in small-town Summerville PD, was fired and arrested and charged for the murder. He is currently held without bail awaiting what the Solicitor General promises will be a trial in the near future. Updates to this case will be posted as they become available.

City : Macomb
County : McDonough
State : Illinois
Agency : Macomb Police Department
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Child killed by police during domestic violence call
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Macomb Police were called to a home where they allege that they saw blood outside and heard screams from an apartment. Officers made forcible entry and claim that they found Keianna Miller with stab injuries and Anthony George holding a knife to Terrell’s throat. Police opened fire on both and killed both George and the child.
His mother, Keianna Miller, once spoke at a Black Lives Matter event in 2020 and said that she feared local police would one day shoot her and her then-baby son. She explained that she had had previous negative police encounters due to mental health issues and was constantly harassed by police. She related that when she was pregnant in 2019, she ran into a Macomb police officer who asked if she was having a boy or girl. “I can’t wait to arrest your son,” Miller said the officer told her.
On 03/18/2024, the Macomb Police shot and killed her then 4-year-old son Terrell when they fired at a man holding him as human shield and police opened fire on both Anthony George and Terrell whom he held in front of him. The police sniper bullet went through the little boy into his father, killing both.
State prosecutors refused to charge the officers who had not considered Terrell’s life when shooting to kill the hostage-taker. The police chief did not want to answer if and when he would release the bodycam footage in full.
The officers were cleared.
