On May 4, 2024, at approximately 7:45 p.m., officers from the Aurora Police Department responded to a report of gunfire in the 1400 block of Clinton Street. Upon arrival, they found a 29-year-old man with a nonfatal gunshot wound to his leg. The man identified 28-year-old Jose Luis Rodriguez-Balderrama as the shooter. Rodriguez-Balderrama fled the scene in a red Ford Mustang.
.
Officers located the vehicle and initiated a pursuit, but lost sight of it shortly afterward. The pursuit was discontinued. Moments later, Rodriguez-Balderrama returned to the scene. Officers approached him near the victim’s apartment, where he was armed with a handgun. Despite orders to show his hands, Rodriguez-Balderrama allegedly pointed the firearm at the officers. In response, two officers discharged their weapons, fatally striking him. A .40-caliber Glock handgun was recovered at the scene.
.
Rodriguez-Balderrama was transported to a local hospital and was later pronounced deceased. No officers were injured during the encounter. The officers involved were placed on paid administrative leave, in line with department policy. The 18th Judicial District's Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) conducted an independent investigation into the incident. On September 30, 2024, CIRT concluded that the officers' actions were justified, as Rodriguez-Balderrama posed an imminent threat to the officers and the community.

On 05/03/2024, 23-year-old Roger Fortson, an active-duty U.S. Air Force serviceman stationed at Hurlburt Field, was fatally shot in his apartment at 319 Racetrack Road in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Deputy Eddie Duran of the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office was responding to a disturbance call unrelated to Fortson when he knocked on Fortson's door. Fortson, who was on a FaceTime call at the time, retrieved his legally owned firearm for self-defense and opened the door with the gun pointed downward. Deputy Duran immediately fired six shots, striking Fortson. Fortson was transported to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.
.
An internal investigation by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office concluded that Duran’s actions were "not objectively reasonable" and violated departmental policies. Duran was terminated from his position on 05/31/2024. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing Fortson's family, stated that Fortson was a legal gun owner with no criminal record, acting to defend himself in his home. Crump and human rights advocates have highlighted potential racial bias and the use of excessive force in the incident, calling for accountability.
.
On 08/25/2024, Eddie Duran was charged with manslaughter with a firearm, a first-degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in prison. He was arrested and later released on a $100,000 bond. Fortson’s family, represented by Crump, is pursuing justice and pushing for systemic changes to prevent similar incidents.
.
Roger Fortson, originally from Atlanta, Georgia, was a decorated U.S. Air Force member serving in the 4th Special Operations Squadron. Known for his dedication and integrity, he had recently returned from an overseas mission. The case has drawn widespread attention, with advocates and community leaders emphasizing the need for transparency and justice in police interactions, particularly concerning racial disparities.

Zachariah White walked around in traffic erratically, then entered a nursing home where he entered random rooms. Police attacked him with a taser, then shot and killed him. Police allege he took the metal foot rest of a wheelchair, apparently after he was tasered, and came at police with it. This was the explanation given why the apparently unarmed man was killed. White reportedly wore a hospital wristband at the time he was killed. It is not immediately clear what his connection to the nursing home was. It is also unknown what he may have wanted when he entered the nursing home where he was killed. He was not reported to be violent other than a self-attempt effort with a wheelchair footpad after the taser attack.
