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. Upon arrival, officers entered the home of 48-year-old Juan Wu without permission, according to his family. They demanded Wu produce identification, which he refused.

Wu's brother, who was present, tried to explain in Spanish that Wu was a Marine Corps veteran suffering from PTSD. The family also noted that no one in the home spoke English.

Wu was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The family described Wu as a devoted husband and father who leaves behind a wife battling cancer and a young child. They have questioned the officers’ decision to use lethal force, particularly given Wu’s mental health condition and the language barrier.
