Terrell T. Miller 1 of 2

Age :4

Gender :Male

Race : Black

Date : 03/18/2024

Location : 900 block of North Charles Street

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.

Age :38

Gender :Male

Race : Latino/a/e

Date : 03/14/2024

Location : Unknown

City : City of Commerce

County : Los Angeles

State : California

Agency : LASD

Officer(s) : Logan Simi, Shane Quesada, Noel Witty

Cause of Death : Unknown

Event : Allegedly fatally beaten and dumped in alley by LASD deputies

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Francisco Nunez riding was in a vehicle LASD patrols identified as possibly stolen. Two people ran from the car while a 14-year-old boy was left in the car. LASD deputies shot the child in the chest and legs but he survived the shooting. The boy was one of several eyewitnesses who saw LASD deputies place Nunez in handcuffs and beating him. Nunez was found dead 5 days later 250 feet from where he had been assaulted by LASD deputies. He had blood in his mouth, hands and pants. LASD claimed that they knew nothing about it and that Nunez had never been in custody. Nunez had been a father of 8. LASD reported alleged methamphetamine toxicity as cause of death. It made no mention from the substantial bruises throughout his body as well as burn marks that appeared on his skin. The coroner met with Nunez’ family and told them he was sure methamphetamine was not the cause of death but a “fight.” The investigation was handled internally by LASD deputies known to be associated with the known #LASDGangs deputies Rivas and Leopoldo Sanchez. Sanchez was known for his affiliation with the criminal intra-LASD cop gang Banditos. The officers who allegedly detained and beat Nunez were Simi and Quesada of the notorious Lancaster LASD station.

The family has suffered significant harassment, LASD deputies frequently sitting in front of their homes or screaming obscenities at them.
