.
REASON FOR CHASE: Evansville Police Department Street Crimes Unit detectives were conducting surveillance of the Evansville residence of Brandon D. McKinney during an investigation involving suspected illegal firearms and drugs. Detectives watched Brent McKinney and Haley Crumb briefly enter and leave the residence in a blue Chevrolet Blazer. Federal prosecutors disclosed in 2026 that detectives interpreted the brief visit as behavior consistent with a potential drug transaction and initiated a traffic stop on the Blazer.
.
NARRATIVE:
On 01/28/2025, 25-year-old Brent Ray McKinney of Evansville was killed after an Evansville Police Department Street Crimes Unit traffic stop escalated into a high-speed flight and fatal crash on U.S. 41. His passenger, 25-year-old Haley Danielle Crumb, was also killed.
.
The circumstances leading to the stop were not publicly explained when McKinney and Crumb died. Evansville police initially said only that they were known to officers and that the stop was connected with a Street Crimes Unit investigation. More than 18 months later, a federal prosecution involving Brandon McKinney disclosed that detectives had been surveilling Brandon's residence because they suspected that he possessed illegal firearms and drugs.
.
During the surveillance, detectives observed Brent McKinney and Crumb enter Brandon McKinney's house and leave a short time later in the blue Chevrolet Blazer. According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, detectives interpreted the short visit as behavior consistent with a potential drug transaction and decided to stop the Blazer. The publicly available reporting does not establish that Brent or Haley had committed an observed traffic violation that prompted the stop.
.
Police stopped the Blazer at approximately 2:58 p.m. at the Circle K at 4101 U.S. 41 near Lynch Road. Multiple officers participated in the stop. EPD said officers approached the vehicle, interacted with McKinney and gave commands directing him to get out. Publicly released dashcam footage shows the police activity surrounding the stop but does not provide a complete view of every officer's interaction at the Blazer.
.
The publicly available reporting does not establish that the stop was formally designated a high-risk or felony traffic stop. It also does not establish that officers knew Brent McKinney or Haley Crumb possessed a firearm before the stop, that either person displayed a firearm, or that either person pointed or threatened officers with a weapon. No public body-camera footage showing the officers' close-range interaction at the Blazer was located in the reporting reviewed for this update.
.
At approximately 3:01 p.m., McKinney drove away from the Circle K. Dashcam footage released by EPD shows officers immediately hurrying back toward their police vehicles as the Blazer departs.
.
Evansville police subsequently denied that officers engaged in a vehicle pursuit. EPD spokesman Sgt. Anthony Aussieker said officers disengaged their emergency lights and sirens once they entered U.S. 41. Police nevertheless acknowledged that the lead officer continued north behind McKinney's vehicle. EPD characterized the officer's conduct as proceeding at a safe speed to monitor McKinney's direction of travel and determine whether his speed resulted in a crash.
.
Independent news coverage described the sequence differently. WNIN reported that the lead officer continued following the Blazer after police turned off the emergency lights and siren, while WEHT referred to the publicly released dashcam as footage of the pursuit before the fatal crash. The distinction between EPD's characterization of the officer as merely monitoring the Blazer and other reporting describing the sequence as a pursuit remains relevant to the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
.
Approximately one mile north of the Circle K, the Blazer reached the intersection of U.S. 41 and St. George Road and struck the trailer of a semi-truck that was turning east onto St. George Road. McKinney and Crumb were pronounced dead at the scene.
.
After the crash, witnesses contacted police and reported finding a firearm near the crash scene. Police seized the firearm as evidence. The initial and subsequent public reporting reviewed does not state that police saw McKinney with that firearm during the traffic stop, that he pointed it at officers, or that police knew the firearm was present before they stopped the Blazer. A firearm reportedly found by a witness near the crash scene should therefore not be described as a weapon used or displayed during the police encounter absent additional evidence.
.
The August 2026 federal disclosure does not allege that McKinney or Crumb threatened officers with a firearm. Federal prosecutors instead reported that investigators recovered marijuana and approximately 1.9 grams of methamphetamine from the Blazer. The DOJ release does not specify the quantity of marijuana and does not attribute either drug specifically to McKinney or Crumb.
.
The much larger firearm and drug seizure publicized in connection with the case occurred at Brandon McKinney's residence, not in Brent McKinney's Blazer. Police reported recovering 41 firearms, approximately 390 grams of marijuana, 54.7 grams of methamphetamine, approximately 3,000 rounds of ammunition, body armor, high-capacity magazines and $2,686 from Brandon's house. Those items should not be attributed to Brent McKinney or Haley Crumb.
.
Brandon McKinney was subsequently federally prosecuted for possessing firearms as a convicted felon. He pleaded guilty and on 08/18/2026 was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release. He was not charged with causing Brent McKinney's or Haley Crumb's deaths. No Evansville police officer was publicly reported criminally charged in connection with the traffic stop, following of the Blazer or fatal crash.
.
McKinney was born 09/01/1999 and was 25 when he died. His obituary described him as a construction worker who enjoyed motorcycles, fishing and working on projects. He was the father of four children.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
Evansville Police Department has not publicly identified the Street Crimes Unit officer or officers who initiated the stop or the lead officer who continued north behind McKinney's Blazer in the sources located. Sgt. Anthony Aussieker was the police spokesman who publicly defended EPD's characterization of the incident as something other than a pursuit and should not be identified as an involved officer absent additional evidence. EPD publicly released dashcam footage but no publicly released body-camera recording showing the officers' close-range interaction with McKinney and Crumb at the Circle K was located during this review.

On 01/29/2025, Jose Escobar died after running into a pond while being pursued by Durham Police Department officers near the 3100 block of Rowena Avenue in Durham. Police alleged that Escobar was driving a vehicle that had been reported stolen. Officers attempted to stop him at approximately 10:00 a.m.
.
Police alleged that as officers closed in on Escobar on the dead-end roadway, he jumped from the vehicle, ran into a wooded area and entered a large pond. Witness James Conyers told ABC11 that he saw Escobar get out of a blue Nissan and run into the woods as police arrived.
.
Durham police said several officers entered the pond and attempted to reach Escobar but were unable to do so and eventually lost sight of him. Durham Fire Department water-rescue personnel and a drone team responded, and the Durham County Sheriff's Office dive team participated in the recovery operation.
.
Escobar's body was recovered from the pond on 01/30/2025. Contemporary reporting initially described him only as an unidentified man. Later reporting by WRAL concerning another Durham County pursuit identified the man who died in the Rowena Avenue pond as Jose Escobar and specifically described the January incident as a Durham police pursuit following the alleged theft of a vehicle.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND:
The Durham Police Department officers involved in the attempted vehicle stop, foot pursuit and attempted water rescue have not been publicly identified in the sources located.

On January 29, 2025, around 4:30 p.m., officers from the Pendleton Police Department and the Madison County Sheriff's Office responded to reports of a man walking along Interstate 69 near State Road 38 in Pendleton, Indiana. Upon arrival, officers encountered 33-year-old Blake Lawrence Brown of Anderson. When officers approached to ensure his safety, Brown reportedly drew a knife from his jacket pocket and advanced toward them. A Madison County sheriff's deputy deployed a Taser, which was ineffective. Subsequently, a Pendleton police officer discharged their firearm, striking Brown. Officers administered immediate medical aid, and Brown was transported to IU Health Saxony Hospital in Fishers, where he was pronounced dead. The involved officer has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

On 01/28/2025, Konoa Wilson, 16, was shot and killed by San Diego Police Officer Daniel Goldoutside the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego. Wilson was fleeing from another teenager who had fired a gun at him inside the station.
.
Surveillance video shows another teenager firing at Wilson on the station's west platform. Wilson ran through a corridor toward Kettner Boulevard. Gold and another officer were nearby on an unrelated call when they heard the gunfire and moved toward the station with their weapons drawn. As Wilson emerged from the corridor, he crossed directly in front of Gold. Gold immediately fired twice at Wilson before identifying himself as a police officer.Wilson was struck in the back and died at a hospital less than an hour later.
.
Wilson was carrying a concealed handgun under his clothing near his right thigh, which officers discovered while attempting to provide medical aid. However, released surveillance and body-camera footage showed no indication that Wilson drew, pointed or fired that gun during his encounter with Gold. The gunfire that caused officers to approach the station had been fired at Wilson by another teenager.
.
BODY-CAMERA / VIDEO: San Diego released an edited body-camera video and surveillance footage depicting the shooting. The footage shows Wilson fleeing the earlier gunfire, emerging from the station and encountering Gold. Gold fired almost immediately. The city has not released all of the underlying unedited video, recordings and other records associated with the shooting.
.
LAWSUIT / $30 MILLION SETTLEMENT: Wilson's parents sued the City of San Diego and Officer Daniel Gold in June 2025, alleging that Gold used unlawful deadly force against their son as he fled from someone who was shooting at him. On 12/09/2025, the San Diego City Council unanimously approved a $30 million settlement with Wilson's family. The settlement was described as one of the largest wrongful-death settlements arising from a police killing in U.S. history.
.
2026 PUBLIC-RECORDS DISPUTE: On 08/19/2026, the First Amendment Coalition sent San Diego City Attorney Heather Ferbert a letter demanding immediate disclosure of additional records concerning Wilson's killing and threatening litigation if the city continued withholding them. The organization had submitted a California public-records request in May seeking unedited police video, recordings and other records associated with the shooting.
.
The city responded that the requested materials were exempt because an investigation remained ongoing and because of confidentiality protections. The First Amendment Coalition disputes those grounds and alleges that the city's continued withholding violates California police-transparency laws. The organization argues that more than 18 months after the shooting, the public remains entitled to the complete records rather than only the limited edited footage already released. The San Diego City Attorney's Office declined to comment on the threatened litigation.
