On March 6, 2024, at approximately 3:00 a.m., Fullerton Police Department officers responded to reports of two men acting erratically outside a McDonald's restaurant on the 1300 block of South Brookhurst Road. Upon arrival, officers encountered 50-year-old Alejandro Campos Rios, who was shirtless, singing, and swinging a belt. Officers attempted to communicate with Rios for about 10 minutes, but he did not comply with commands to drop the belt. An officer deployed a Taser, which was ineffective. Subsequently, another officer fired multiple beanbag rounds from a shotgun, striking Rios. One of the beanbag rounds penetrated Rios's chest, causing significant bleeding. Officers provided medical aid until paramedics arrived and transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The incident is under investigation by the Fullerton Police Department and the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

State : Alabama
Agency : Dothan Police Department
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Suicide under police duress
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On March 6, 2024, Dothan Police responded to a report of a shooting at a home on Bunche Street, where 62-year-old Reinetta Ann Lewis was found dead in the front yard from multiple gunshot wounds. Her ex-husband, Ansel Lewis, was believed to have committed the shooting. Police quickly set up a perimeter around the house, placing nearby Dothan High School on lockdown. Crisis negotiators attempted to make contact with Ansel Lewis, but after no communication, the Special Response Team (SRT) entered the residence. A robot, used to inspect the area, revealed that Ansel Lewis was found dead inside, having died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
.
The incident was identified as a murder-suicide with domestic motivations, as the victim had filed a protection order against Ansel Lewis just a day before the shooting. Reinetta had recently finalized her divorce from Lewis, and court records revealed he had a history of violent behavior.
.
The investigation is being handled by the Dothan Police Department, and the case is currently under review for further details.
