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.
.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident to assess the actions of the officers involved and whether proper protocols were followed.

Event : Killed by police during attempted arrest

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On October 10, 2024, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) deputies responded to a report of a drug transaction in the Arlington area. Officers alleged that they witnessed Dejuane Aki Hayden engaging in a drug deal, with firearms visible. When officers attempted to approach, Hayden fled on foot.
.
Officer Bradley Griffitts pursued Hayden, and according to JSO, Hayden was observed holding a firearm as he ran. Officers fired, striking him once in the back while he was fleeing, with his back turned to police. Hayden was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
.
Body-worn camera footage from the incident, released to the public, shows Hayden holding a gun while running away from the officers. The footage has raised questions, as it appears Hayden was not facing the officers when he was shot.
.
Hayden’s background includes past criminal charges, but his family and supporters have questioned whether lethal force was necessary in this situation. He leaves behind a child and family members who have voiced concerns about how the encounter was handled.
.
Officer Bradley Griffitts, a six-year veteran of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO), was involved in two fatal shootings during his tenure. In May 2020, he was one of six officers who shot and killed Phillipe Pereira after a domestic disturbance. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident to ensure the officers followed proper procedures.

On October 7, 2024, at approximately 11:56 p.m., Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) officers responded to a 911 call reporting a suicidal individual, Matthew D. Kemper, at a residence on Prairie Grass Lane. The caller informed police that Kemper had been involved in a disturbance with his roommates and was cutting himself with a knife.
.
Police arrived at the scene and identified the residence. Officers announced their presence and attempted to make contact with Kemper and the caller, who remained inside the home. Officers learned from the caller that Kemper had resumed self-harming. CSPD officers entered the residence to ensure the caller’s safety and to intervene.
.
As officers moved through the home, Kemper reportedly advanced toward two lead officers while holding a knife. Officer Noah Bartron fired multiple shots at Kemper, striking him. Police immediately rendered medical aid. Emergency responders transported Kemper to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
