Tracey Watson
Age :35
Gender :Male
Race : Black
Date : 05/27/2024
Location : 300-block of South Cicero Avenue
City : Chicago
County : Cook
State : Illinois
Agency : Chicago Police Department
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police after being attacked
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On May 27, 2024, at approximately 11:10 p.m., Chicago Police Department officers on routine patrol in the 300 block of South Cicero Avenue observed Tracey Watson, 35, allegedly attempting to stab another man in the street. Officers exited their vehicle and, according to official reports, issued verbal commands for Watson to drop his weapon. When he reportedly failed to comply and continued the attack, two officers discharged their firearms, striking both Watson and the victim. Watson was transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The victim was taken to Stroger Hospital in critical condition.
.
Watson's family contests the police account, asserting that he was defending himself and his cousin from an unprovoked attack. According to Daniel Henry, Watson's cousin, the incident began when two men confronted Watson about urinating in public, leading to one of them punching Watson in the face. Henry states that as Watson and his cousin pursued the assailants, the men attacked again, hitting Watson with a bottle. Henry claims that the attackers then flagged down a passing police car, falsely alleging that Watson's cousin had a gun. The family argues that Watson was acting in self-defense when police arrived and that officers did not issue commands before opening fire.
.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) is investigating the incident and has released body-worn camera footage showing the moments leading up to the shooting. The video depicts officers arriving at the scene, observing Watson allegedly attacking another individual, and subsequently discharging their firearms. COPA's preliminary statement indicates that officers gave verbal commands for Watson to drop his weapon, which he did not heed, prompting the use of deadly force.
.
This incident has sparked controversy, with Watson's family disputing the police narrative and calling for accountability. The investigation by COPA is ongoing, and the involved officers have been placed on routine administrative duties for a minimum of 30 days, per departmental policy.
.
NUMBER OF CASUALTIES DURING THIS POLICE ENCOUNTER: 1 fatality, 1 injury.

Agency : Michigan State Police (MSP) Grand Rapids Post, MSP Bomb Squad, MSP Emergency Support Team
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police after false bomb threat
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On May 25, 2024, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Michigan State Police troopers responded to reports of a man acting erratically at a residence in the 2000 block of Skeels Road in Otto Township, Oceana County. Upon arrival, troopers observed 44-year-old Jonathan David Jurecki walking near the intersection of Skeels Road and Nichols Road. Upon noticing the officers, Jurecki fled into a wooded area and re-emerged carrying a device with visible wires, claiming it was a bomb and threatening to "kill everybody." Troopers established a perimeter, evacuated nearby residents, and requested assistance from the MSP Grand Rapids Post, MSP Bomb Squad, and the Emergency Support Team (EST). Negotiators engaged with Jurecki for several hours in an attempt to de-escalate the situation. During the standoff, Jurecki made movements perceived as a threat, prompting an EST member to discharge a rifle, fatally wounding him. Subsequent examination by the MSP Bomb Squad determined that the device was a hoax and did not contain any explosive materials.
