On 08/18/2024, Alex Angel Cortez, 16, was shot and killed by Chicago Police Department officers assigned to the Robbery Task Force in the Pilsen neighborhood. At approximately 1:16 a.m., the officers were already patrolling the area when they heard numerous gunshots near the 1800 block of South Blue Island Avenue and moved toward the gunfire.
.
Police alleged that officers encountered Cortez and another armed person after hearing the shots. Both officers fired their weapons, striking Cortez. Cortez was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead at approximately 1:56 a.m.
.
Nearby, police found 29-year-old Stephen Mancilla Carlos and a woman suffering from multiple gunshot wounds inside a vehicle. Both were initially hospitalized in critical condition. Mancilla Carlos died from his injuries on August 21.
.
Chicago police alleged that Cortez and another person had fired at the vehicle before officers encountered them. Police reported recovering a firearm at the scene. Cortez's father, Fulgencio Cortez, publicly disputed the police account that his son was armed and said the family wanted evidence and answers about the circumstances of the shooting.
.
A significant later development occurred in 2025, when prosecutors charged Christopher Ford, 24, in connection with the shooting of Mancilla Carlos and the woman. Prosecutors alleged that video showed Ford and Cortez firing approximately 35 rounds at the victims' vehicle in a case of mistaken identity. Prosecutors further alleged that immediately afterward police activated their emergency lights and pursued the two on foot, and that Cortez stopped and turned toward the pursuing officers while holding a firearm in his right hand. An officer then shot Cortez. Investigators attributed 16 of the shots fired at the vehicle to the gun police alleged Cortez was carrying.
.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability opened an investigation into the officers' use of deadly force. COPA stated that Illinois juvenile-record law prevented it from publicly releasing the video and other materials normally released following a fatal police shooting. As of the later publicly available reporting, COPA's final findings had not been released.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND
.
The Chicago police officers involved in the shooting have not been publicly identified.

On 08/17/2024, Joseph Nehemiah Powell, 34, of Orange Park was killed when he crashed his motorcycle while Florida Highway Patrol troopers pursued him on Interstate 10. The pursuit began at approximately 3:20 p.m. in Washington County and continued east into Jackson County.
.
The initiating reason for the attempted traffic stop was specifically no license plate/tag displayed on Powell's motorcycle. An FHP trooper attempted to stop Powell's green 2007 Kawasaki on eastbound I-10 between mile markers 102 and 104. Powell continued driving and the trooper pursued.
.
During the pursuit, FHP reported that Powell reached speeds approaching 142 mph and at times traveled on the center grass median and emergency shoulder. The pursuit continued from Washington County into Jackson County.
.
Powell attempted to exit I-10 onto State Road 71 in Jackson County. According to FHP, he attempted to change direction while negotiating the exit, lost control of the Kawasaki and crashed. The pursuing trooper arrived at the crash scene, requested EMS and began CPR, but Powell died from his injuries.
.
FHP subsequently reported that the motorcycle was unregistered and uninsured and that Powell did not have a driver's license or motorcycle endorsement. Those facts were discovered in connection with the investigation; the stated reason for the original attempted stop was the motorcycle displaying no tag.
.
The Florida Highway Patrol Traffic Homicide Division investigated the fatal pursuit and crash.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND

On 08/17/2024, Derek Pickett, 44, was shot and killed by Albuquerque Police Department SWAT Officer Robert Sanchez following a police foot chase and several-hour barricade in a backyard shed in the 400 block of Arno Street SE. The encounter began at approximately 2:20 p.m. at the Family Dollar at 613 Broadway Boulevard SE. An officer was already at the store on an unrelated call when employees ran after Pickett and told the officer that he had stolen merchandise. Later police reporting valued the merchandise at approximately $47.
.
The officer pursued Pickett on foot over the shoplifting accusation. During the chase, Pickett dropped the merchandise. Police alleged that Pickett displayed a handgun from his waistband and said that he could not go back to jail before continuing away from the officer. A landscaper subsequently told police that Pickett had entered a backyard shed on Arno Street.
.
Albuquerque officers surrounded the shed and attempted to persuade Pickett to surrender. Officer Truitt Bushnell communicated with Pickett from outside. Police alleged that Pickett fired a shot from inside the shed approximately 16 minutes into the encounter. Bushnell fired back. Neither Pickett nor Bushnell was struck during that exchange.
.
APD SWAT took control of the scene at approximately 4:16 p.m. Police attempted dozens of times over approximately two hours to establish communication with Pickett and placed a telephone near the shed for him to use.
.
At approximately 6:25 p.m., Pickett opened the shed door and reached for the police telephone while holding a handgun in his other hand. Video released by APD showed Pickett bringing the handgun to his own head. At approximately the same time, SWAT Officer Robert Sanchez fired one rifle round, striking Pickett in the chest, while other officers deployed a less-lethal projectile and a flashbang.
.
Sanchez later told investigators that he believed Pickett was beginning to raise the firearm toward SWAT personnel. Police subsequently reported that the handgun recovered after the shooting had no magazine inserted and no cartridge in the chamber. APD said the gun had been fired earlier during the standoff.
.
Pickett died at the scene. APD's Multi-Agency Task Force investigated the shooting, with additional administrative review by Internal Affairs and the Force Review Board.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND
.
Robert Sanchez fired the fatal shot that killed Pickett. Sanchez had previously been involved in two Albuquerque police shootings before killing Pickett.
.
In 2022, Sanchez shot and killed 43-year-old Wendel Bryan Tagle during an encounter at an Albuquerque apartment complex. Police alleged that Tagle had a firearm and pointed it toward Sanchez. APD's own account of that shooting identified Sanchez and noted that he had already been involved in another police shooting in 2018.
.
Truitt Bushnell exchanged gunfire with Pickett earlier in the barricade but did not fire the fatal shot. Bushnell had no previously reported police shootings when APD released its account of Pickett's killing.

On 08/16/2024, Wayne Anthony Fuller Jr., 44, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the end of a Spalding County Sheriff’s Office pursuit into Henry County. A Spalding County deputy ended the pursuit with a PIT maneuver near Georgia Highway 155 and Greenwood Industrial Parkway in McDonough.
.
The pursuit followed the shooting death of Fuller’s wife, Cotina Louise Fuller, 51, earlier that day at the Fast Trip gas station on Riverside Drive in Macon. Bibb County deputies found Cotina Fuller suffering from multiple gunshot wounds at approximately 11:07 a.m. She died at the scene. Authorities identified Wayne Fuller as the person being sought in connection with her killing.
.
At approximately 2:00 p.m., a Spalding County sheriff’s deputy received a lookout alert for a vehicle associated with the Macon homicide. While the information was being broadcast, the deputy saw the vehicle pass and attempted to stop it specifically because police were seeking the vehicle and Fuller in connection with the homicide.
.
Fuller continued driving north on Georgia Highway 155 while the Spalding County deputy pursued. The pursuit entered Henry County, where personnel from additional law-enforcement agencies assisted.
.
The original Spalding County deputy performed a PIT maneuver to end the pursuit near Greenwood Industrial Parkway. When officers approached Fuller’s vehicle, they saw blood inside. Fuller was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Officers attempted medical aid, but Fuller died at the scene.
.
The entire conclusion of the pursuit was captured on video. Spalding County Sheriff Darrell Dix stated that Fuller was not shot by police and that preliminary evidence did not indicate Fuller fired at the pursuing deputy.

On 08/15/2024, at approximately 10:00 p.m., a Graves County sheriff’s deputy located a man at the Wingfield Inn, 1101 West Housman Street in Mayfield, after the Benton County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee notified Kentucky authorities that he had left the Benton County Courthouse during jury deliberations and might be in the Mayfield area. The Tennessee court had been trying him on charges involving rape of a child, incest and domestic assault. After he left the courthouse, authorities obtained a nationwide extraditable warrant for felony failure to appear. He also reportedly sent communications stating that he intended to kill himself.
The Graves County deputy identified the man after he emerged from a motel room near the vehicle described by Tennessee authorities. The deputy attempted to arrest him, and the two struggled outside the room. The man broke away, returned through the doorway and barricaded himself inside. Additional Graves County deputies and Mayfield police officers arrived, creating a brief standoff outside the room.
The man subsequently opened the motel-room door and came outside holding a handgun. Graves County Sheriff Jon Hayden reported that he pointed the weapon toward the assembled deputies and Mayfield officers. Police fired multiple rounds, striking him. The Graves County coroner pronounced him dead at the motel. Body cameras worn by officers recorded the encounter, and investigators secured the recordings as evidence.
Both the Graves County Sheriff’s Office and Mayfield Police Department requested an independent investigation by the Kentucky State Police Critical Incident Response Team. Two Graves County deputies who fired or were directly involved were placed on paid administrative leave. Despite the involvement of officers from two agencies and the existence of body-camera recordings, the agencies did not publicly identify the officers or the man who was killed in the releases associated with the investigation.

On 08/15/2024, at approximately 2:23 a.m., Morrisville police responded to a reported armed robbery and carjacking at the Camden Westwood Apartments on West Shore Court. The victim reported being assaulted by four individuals, one reportedly armed with a handgun, before his 2016 BMW SUV was taken. About eight minutes later, a Morrisville police officer located the BMW traveling on Chapel Hill Road toward Durham and initiated a pursuit.
The pursuit continued toward Durham before officers lost sight of the BMW near the Chapel Hill Road/Page Road area. Morrisville police terminated the pursuit. Approximately two hours later, at about 4:41 a.m., a passing motorist discovered the BMW crashed in a field off the 5900 block of South Miami Boulevard in Durham and notified authorities. Durham officers found the 16-year-old driver had been ejected from the vehicle and pronounced him dead at the scene. Investigators determined he was the only person inside the SUV when it crashed.
The crash investigation was conducted by the Durham Police Department while the Morrisville Police Department conducted an internal review of the pursuit. One Morrisville officer involved in the pursuit was placed on administrative leave pending that review. Morrisville Police Chief Pete Acosta later stated the review concluded departmental pursuit procedures had been followed. The juvenile's identity has not been publicly released because of his age. No subsequent public reports were located identifying the pursuing officer, announcing civil litigation, criminal charges, or other significant investigative findings related to the fatal pursuit.

On 08/13/2024, shortly before 9:00 a.m., Palmetto police responded to the 700 block of 8th Street West after receiving a report that 47-year-old Daniel McClelland was experiencing a mental health crisis. According to police, the caller warned that McClelland had a firearm and had stated he would force officers to shoot him if they responded.
Officers parked nearby and approached the residence. Police said McClelland initially retreated inside the home before returning outside carrying a rifle. According to investigators, he pointed the rifle toward officers. At least one officer fired, striking McClelland. Officers rendered first aid until EMS arrived, and he was transported to a hospital, where he died later that day.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement opened an independent investigation, and the State Attorney's Office was notified to review the shooting under Florida procedure. The officer who fired was placed on paid administrative leave pending the investigation. No later public reporting identified the officer, announced criminal charges, civil litigation, or other significant investigative findings.

On 08/15/2024, Virginia State Police attempted to stop a black 2024 Honda Passport on Interstate 95 in Fairfax County after a citizen recognized the vehicle from an AMBER Alert issued for three children abducted from a Virginia Beach home. The alert followed an alleged domestic violence incident in which police said 36-year-old Dana Demetrius Plummer stabbed the children's mother and a juvenile before leaving with his three children. Troopers confirmed the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop, but the driver continued driving away while police pursued.
The pursuit continued north across the Woodrow Wilson Bridge into Prince George's County, Maryland. Virginia State Police had been authorized to continue the pursuit across state lines because the case involved felony child abduction. As the SUV attempted to exit Interstate 495 at Branch Avenue, it struck other vehicles, lost control, and overturned. Four people were inside the Honda: Dana Plummer and his three children. Sixteen-month-old Za'riyah Plummer suffered critical injuries and was flown to Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C., where she died. Her brothers, ages 5 and 7, sustained serious injuries but survived. Dana Plummer was also hospitalized following the crash.

On 08/14/2024, Van Alstyne police received reports of a reckless driver traveling north on U.S. Highway 75. Officers located a pickup truck driven by 37-year-old Delio Lomas of Dallas and attempted a traffic stop. Instead of stopping, Lomas continued driving away while police pursued.
The pursuit continued into the Howe area. According to police, Lomas drove through the grassy median while attempting to re-enter the highway, lost control of the stolen pickup truck, and crashed. He was ejected from the vehicle during the rollover. Emergency responders transported him to Texoma Medical Center in Sherman, where he later died from his injuries.
Investigators later determined the pickup truck had been stolen from McKinney. Authorities also reported that Lomas had been released from the Collin County Jail only hours before the pursuit began. The Texas Department of Public Safety investigated the fatal crash. No subsequent public reporting located through 2026 identified the pursuing officer, announced civil litigation, disciplinary action, or any criminal review arising from the pursuit.

On 08/14/2024, at approximately 10:23 p.m., officers with the Virginia Beach Police Department responded to a residence in the 1200 block of Quarter Way after receiving a report of a possible drug overdose. The first officer to arrive heard a disturbance inside the home, entered the residence, and found 61-year-old Robert "Bobby" Charles Miller and a woman struggling over a knife in an upstairs bedroom.
According to police, the officer repeatedly ordered Miller to drop the knife. Police reported that Miller instead moved toward the officer while still holding the knife. The officer fired, striking Miller. Officers immediately rendered first aid until Virginia Beach EMS personnel arrived. Miller was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Virginia Beach Police Chief Paul Neudigate stated that the shooting was the department's second deadly force incident in less than 48 hours. As required by department policy, the officer who fired was placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation proceeded. The Virginia Beach Police Detective Bureau opened a criminal investigation, the Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney conducted a separate independent review, and Internal Affairs was assigned to conduct an administrative investigation after completion of the criminal reviews.

On 08/14/2024, shortly before 6:40 p.m., Honolulu police responded to reports of an active shooting at a residence on Waianae Valley Road. Investigators said 60-year-old Alston Kaipo Awong arrived at the property armed with both a rifle and a handgun after an ongoing neighborhood dispute involving the occupants of the home. According to investigators, Awong opened fire, striking multiple people before officers arrived.
Responding officers encountered Awong outside the residence. Honolulu Police Chief Joe Logan said Awong was still armed when officers confronted him. Officers fired, fatally wounding him at the scene. Four other people were shot during the incident. Three were transported to hospitals with serious injuries, while one victim died from gunshot wounds.
The shooting stemmed from a long-running feud between neighboring families that had generated repeated police responses before the violence erupted. Following the incident, investigators recovered both a rifle and a handgun believed to have been used by Awong. The Honolulu Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division and the Department's Professional Standards Office investigated the officers' use of deadly force.
Subsequent reporting identified the civilian who shot and killed Awong's son, Rishard Keamo-Carnate, during the exchange of gunfire. In 2025, the Honolulu Prosecutor's Office announced that Keamo-Carnate would not face criminal charges, concluding he acted in self-defense while protecting himself and others during the attack. That prosecutorial decision became the principal post-incident development in the case. No later reporting identified the Honolulu police officers involved, announced criminal charges against them, or reported civil litigation arising from the police shooting itself.

On 08/14/2024, at approximately 2:25 p.m., a deputy with the St. Francois County Sheriff's Department attempted to stop an older-model Ford passenger car traveling near southbound U.S. Highway 67 and the Old Orchard Road exit, south of Bonne Terre. The sheriff's department reported only that the deputy was attempting a traffic stop; no public source has identified the reason the deputy initially attempted to stop King's vehicle. King continued driving away while the deputy pursued with emergency lights and siren activated.
The pursuit exited U.S. Highway 67 at Old Orchard Road and ended near the northbound entrance ramp. After stopping, King reversed into the deputy's marked patrol vehicle, striking it. According to the sheriff's department, King then reversed a second time, again hitting the patrol vehicle. As the deputy exited his patrol vehicle and gave commands, King again placed the vehicle in reverse and drove backward toward the deputy. The deputy fired, striking King. Assisting officers arrived and provided medical aid until St. Francois County EMS transported King to Mercy Jefferson Hospital. He was later transferred to a St. Louis hospital, where he died from his injuries.
At the request of the St. Francois County Sheriff's Department, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Division of Drug and Crime Control conducted the independent investigation into the shooting. The case was to be forwarded to the St. Francois County Prosecuting Attorney upon completion of the investigation for review.
A search for subsequent developments through 2026 found no publicly reported prosecutor's charging decision, no public identification of the deputy who fired, no announced civil lawsuit or settlement involving King's death, and no later release of body-camera or dash-camera footage. The Missouri State Highway Patrol remains the primary publicly identified investigative agency in the case.

On 08/14/2024, Columbus Division of Police officers located 33-year-old Justin Randolph Moore in the South Linden neighborhood. Police reported that Moore was wanted on an outstanding felonious-assault warrant. Officers attempted to take him into custody, but Moore continued driving away while police pursued. The available reporting does not specify the underlying conduct alleged in the felonious-assault case.
The pursuit continued through the neighborhood and ended near East 22nd Avenue and Medina Avenue when Moore lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway and struck a tree. Officers and emergency medical personnel attempted to save him, but Moore died from injuries sustained in the crash. His obituary confirms that Justin Randolph Moore, known to family and friends as “JR,” died in Columbus on 08/14/2024 at age 33.
Moore was born on 12/19/1990 in Erie, Pennsylvania, and later lived in Columbus. He worked as a landscaper and was remembered by his family as an artist, writer and musician. He was survived by his son, parents, siblings, grandparents and extended family.

On 08/13/2024, at approximately 10:19 a.m., New Jersey State Police Trooper Christopher Bird attempted to conduct a traffic stop of a Ford Explorer traveling east on Interstate 80 near milepost 11. Bird activated his emergency lights and siren, but the driver continued east at high speed, used the highway shoulder and exited at Exit 12 while Bird pursued. The Explorer then traveled south on County Road 521 through Hope Township. The publicly released investigation did not specify the traffic violation that prompted Bird to initiate the stop.
At approximately 10:20 a.m., the Explorer moved into the opposing lane to pass another vehicle near Dogwood Road. As it returned to the southbound lane, the Explorer struck a motorcycle operated by 76-year-old Michael J. Ceddia Jr. Ceddia was a bystander traveling on County Road 521 and was not involved in the reason for the traffic stop or pursuit. The impact threw him from the motorcycle. The Explorer then left the roadway and came to rest in a wooded area. Emergency personnel attempted to aid Ceddia, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office of Public Integrity and Accountability investigated the pursuit because Ceddia died during an encounter involving law enforcement. Investigators reviewed Bird’s body-worn camera, patrol-vehicle dashboard video, police radio transmissions, witness statements and Ceddia’s autopsy findings. The Attorney General’s Office later released video from the pursuit after first allowing Ceddia’s family to view the recordings.
The evidence was presented to a state grand jury, which voted on 05/20/2025 not to file criminal charges against Trooper Bird. The Attorney General’s Office announced that the grand jury found no basis for criminal prosecution arising from Bird’s initiation or continuation of the pursuit. The matter remained subject to any separate administrative review of Bird’s compliance with New Jersey State Police policy.

On 08/13/2024, officers with the China Grove Police Department were investigating a location that they said was associated with stolen vehicles when they observed three motorcycles leaving the area. Police did not report that the motorcycles had been confirmed stolen before the pursuit began. Officers followed the motorcycles in an attempt to obtain license plate and registration information. Police stated the riders appeared to realize they were being followed and began communicating with one another. One motorcyclist accelerated, passed vehicles in a no-passing zone, and continued driving away. China Grove officers then initiated a pursuit of that motorcycle.
The pursuit continued eastbound on FM 1346 before the motorcycle entered Loop 1604. Near the intersection of Loop 1604 and North Graytown Road, the motorcycle entered the intersection against a red light and collided with a pickup truck driven by 40-year-old Michael Husky, who was not involved in the pursuit. Husky and the motorcyclist both died from injuries sustained in the collision. The motorcyclist was later identified as Larry Nees.
After the crash, China Grove police announced that the motorcycle Larry Nees had been operating had been reported stolen to the San Antonio Police Department on 07/09/2024. Police also stated that Nees was wanted on an outstanding Bexar County drug-trafficking warrant. Those facts were released after the collision and were not identified by police as the reason the pursuit was initiated.
A review of subsequent reporting through 2026 located no publicly reported civil lawsuit filed by Husky's family, no public disciplinary action involving the pursuing officers, and no publicly released independent prosecutorial findings regarding the pursuit.

On 08/13/2024, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Anchorage police responded to the Greenbriar Apartments on East 46th Avenue after a family member reported that 16-year-old Easter Sally Leafa was threatening relatives with a kitchen knife during a domestic disturbance. Family members later said Leafa had recently moved from American Samoa, spoke limited English, and had retreated onto a balcony before officers entered the apartment.
Police entered the apartment and encountered Leafa holding a knife. According to the Anchorage Police Department, officers repeatedly ordered her to drop the knife. Police said Leafa then walked toward officers while still holding the knife. One officer fired multiple rounds while another officer deployed a less-lethal projectile. Leafa was struck by gunfire and transported to a hospital, where she died. Her family disputed the police response, stating officers should have allowed relatives to communicate with her and de-escalate the situation before resorting to deadly force. The shooting prompted protests and renewed criticism of Anchorage police after a series of officer-involved shootings in the city.
The Alaska Office of Special Prosecutions investigated the shooting and later concluded that the officer's use of deadly force was legally justified under Alaska law, declining to file criminal charges. Despite that finding, the Leafa family pursued civil claims against the Municipality of Anchorage.
On 04/30/2025, the Municipality of Anchorage and the Leafa family reached a settlement resolving all civil claims arising from the shooting. The settlement, publicly announced on 05/22/2025, totaled $2.11 million. Following the shooting, Mayor Suzanne LaFrance ordered an outside review of the incident and broader Anchorage Police Department use-of-force policies. The review produced recommendations for changes to de-escalation training, crisis response, and police practices, all of which the city committed to implementing. The Leafa family stated they hoped the settlement and policy changes would help prevent similar deaths in the future.

On 08/13/2024, officers with the Owensboro Police Department, assisted by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and IRS Criminal Investigation, executed multiple search and arrest warrants as part of a long-term narcotics investigation involving methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, and firearms trafficking. One of the warrants targeted 46-year-old Timothy R. Roberts at a residence near Farmview Drive and Todd Court.
When officers attempted to serve the arrest warrant, Roberts barricaded himself inside a camper located in the driveway of the residence. The standoff lasted nearly five hours while the Owensboro Police Department Emergency Response Team attempted to negotiate with him. During the standoff, nearby Burns Elementary and Burns Middle School implemented safety measures because of the police operation. At approximately 4:15 p.m., Roberts sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Emergency Response Team members and EMS personnel provided lifesaving treatment before he was transported to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital, where he later died. The Daviess County Coroner ruled the death a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
One week later, federal authorities announced the results of the broader investigation that led to the warrant operation. A federal grand jury returned five indictments charging 37 defendants in Kentucky and California with methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine trafficking, firearms, and money laundering offenses. Owensboro police stated the operation was intended to dismantle a large drug trafficking organization rather than conduct isolated street-level arrests.

On 08/13/2024, deputies with the Bertie County Sheriff's Office went to a residence on Sierra Lane in Windsor to serve an involuntary commitment order for 28-year-old Tyshawn Barnes. The deputies were attempting to take Barnes into custody under the court order when they encountered him outside the residence.
According to the Bertie County Sheriff's Office, Barnes opened fire on the deputies, striking one deputy in the arm. Additional deputies returned fire, striking Barnes. Deputies immediately rendered aid until Bertie County EMS arrived. Barnes was transported to ECU Health Bertie Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The wounded deputy was transported for treatment and later released.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation assumed responsibility for the independent investigation into the shooting. The Bertie County Sheriff's Office identified the decedent as Tyshawn Barnes and confirmed that the deputies had been attempting to serve an involuntary commitment order rather than a criminal arrest warrant.
A review of subsequent reporting through 2026 found no publicly reported civil lawsuit filed by Barnes' family, no criminal charges against the deputies, no public identification of the deputies who fired, and no publicly announced disciplinary action arising from the shooting. No later official report locating additional substantive developments beyond the SBI investigation was identified.

On 08/13/2024, Kansas City police attempted to stop a Kia Soul after determining it had been reported stolen. The reason for the pursuit was the stolen vehicle. The driver, 16-year-old Donelle Morris, continued driving away while police pursued through Kansas City streets. Police later stated the pursuit was terminated before the collision because of the danger created by the fleeing vehicle.
Shortly after the pursuit ended, the Kia entered the intersection of East 35th Street and Prospect Avenue at a high rate of speed and collided with another vehicle. The impact overturned the Kia and ejected multiple occupants. Driver Donelle Morris and front-seat passenger Reginald K. Smith died at the scene. Rear-seat passenger Myesha S. Gentry was transported to a hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
Five additional occupants of the Kia, including several children, were injured. Occupants of the other vehicle also suffered injuries but survived. The Kansas City Police Department Fatality Unit investigated the collision.
Subsequent reporting identified all three people who died in the crash. No publicly reported civil lawsuit, criminal charges against the pursuing officers, or disciplinary action arising from the pursuit had been announced through the latest available reporting.

On 08/13/2024, League City police responded to a reported aggravated robbery involving an armed man. Officers identified 34-year-old Jonathan Velasquez as the robbery suspect and attempted to stop his vehicle. Velasquez continued driving away while League City officers pursued north toward Houston. The reason for the pursuit was the reported aggravated robbery.
The pursuit entered southeast Houston, where Houston Police Department officers assisted. Near Alconbury Lane and Scott Street, Velasquez lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a ditch. After the crash, he exited the vehicle carrying a handgun. According to investigators, officers repeatedly ordered him to drop the weapon, but he continued holding the gun. Officers then fired, striking Velasquez. He was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office Crime Scene Unit and the Houston Police Department Special Investigations Unit investigated the shooting. The Harris County District Attorney's Office was notified and conducted the customary review of the officers' use of deadly force. Body-camera and dash-camera footage were later released by the Houston Police Department as part of its Critical Incidents Briefing program.
A review of subsequent reporting through 2026 located no publicly reported civil lawsuit or settlement arising from the shooting, no criminal charges against the involved officers, and no publicly reported disciplinary action. The principal post-incident development was the public release of the critical incident video documenting the pursuit, crash and shooting.

On 02/10/2023, 28-year-old Delmy “Patty” Alvarez was killed when a Lexus being pursued by Orlando Police Officer Esequiel Colon crashed into the Honda Civic she was driving at South Parramore Avenue and West Anderson Street in Orlando. Alvarez was completely uninvolved in the police encounter. Her girlfriend, Gina Mustacchio, was riding in the passenger seat and survived with devastating injuries.
.
The pursuit began at approximately 10:18 p.m. when Colon saw a Lexus run a red light at Westmoreland Drive and South Street in the Parramore neighborhood. Colon later told an Orlando Police internal-affairs investigator that he considered running the red light reckless driving. This traffic violation—not a violent felony—was the specific initiating reason for Colon's decision to follow the vehicle.
.
Colon began following the Lexus in a marked Ford Explorer. As its driver increased speed, Colon continued behind him through residential city streets. Internal police records subsequently established that the vehicles reached speeds exceeding 60 mph.
.
Critically, Colon did not activate his emergency lights or siren during the pursuit. He later acknowledged this during the internal investigation. Consequently, Alvarez and other motorists approaching the eventual crash intersection received no emergency lights or siren warning that a high-speed police pursuit was entering the intersection.
.
The Lexus ran another red light at Parramore Avenue and West Anderson Street and struck the driver's side of Alvarez's Honda. Alvarez died from her injuries. Mustacchio suffered a broken jaw, multiple rib and pelvic fractures, a broken arm and injuries that ultimately cost her a kidney.
.
Orlando Police Department's own investigation determined that Colon's pursuit violated department policy. OPD policy permitted vehicle pursuits when an officer had reasonable suspicion that the fleeing person had committed or attempted a specified forcible felony. Running a red light did not qualify.
.
The internal investigation established that Colon himself acknowledged he did not have reasonable suspicion that the driver had committed or attempted a forcible felony and that the incident did not meet OPD's criteria for a vehicle pursuit.
.
The department nevertheless stopped short of attributing Alvarez's death to Colon. Colon received a 40-hour suspension and additional training for violating the pursuit policy. Under the police union agreement, he was permitted to surrender five days of paid leave instead of losing pay during the suspension.
.
No independent law-enforcement agency investigated Colon's role in Alvarez's death. The Orlando Police Department investigated both the fatal crash involving its own officer and Colon's policy violations. OPD later said there was no procedure requiring an outside investigation for a crash of this type.
.
The department's handling of the aftermath became a major part of the case. OPD did not issue a public news release explaining that Alvarez had been killed during a police pursuit and did not tell her mother, Marta Lopez, the full circumstances of her daughter's death. Lopez initially understood only that a reckless driver had run a red light and killed Delmy.
.
For months, OPD also denied an Orlando Sentinel public-records request by citing an active-investigation exemption even though the administrative investigation of Colon had already concluded. When records were eventually produced, substantial portions were redacted. Unredacted internal records became available through legal discovery in Mustacchio's civil litigation.
.
Lopez said she first began learning that police had been pursuing the Lexus through Mustacchio rather than through the department. When Lopez later confronted the crash investigator about the existence of a police pursuit, she recalled his response as asking who had told her.
.
The family has consequently been outspoken in challenging OPD's handling of Alvarez's death. Lopez said she believed the crash could have been prevented and explicitly assigned responsibility both to the pursued driver and to police. She criticized the department for failing to contact her or keep her informed.
.
Mustacchio likewise became an outspoken critic of the department. She argued that although the pursued driver was responsible for his actions, Colon's decision to chase him without emergency lights or siren materially contributed to the circumstances that killed Alvarez.
.
Mustacchio sued the City of Orlando, alleging that Colon's unauthorized pursuit caused or contributed to the collision. The lawsuit specifically cited Colon's violation of OPD's restrictive pursuit policy and his failure to use emergency lights and siren.
.
The City of Orlando settled the litigation in 2025 for $300,000. The settlement did not require the city to admit legal responsibility. Mustacchio said her purpose in bringing the case was accountability and exposing what she believed OPD had attempted to keep from public view.
.
The criminal investigation of the pursued driver was also marked by an extraordinary delay. Although police possessed evidence from the crash, charges were not submitted to the Orange-Osceola State Attorney's Office until September 2024, approximately 19 months after Alvarez was killed and only days after investigative reporting publicly exposed OPD's role in the pursuit.
.
Records showed that DNA evidence from the Lexus airbag and suspected marijuana recovered from the vehicle had been submitted to FDLE in April 2023. OPD did not report receiving the DNA result until September 2024. The suspected marijuana was not submitted for testing until September 11, 2024, the day after other charges were forwarded to prosecutors.
.
The driver was ultimately arrested in February 2025 and prosecuted for the fatal crash. At his 2025 sentencing proceedings, Mustacchio took the unusual position of speaking partly in his defense because she believed Colon and OPD also bore substantial responsibility. Alvarez's mother likewise told the court she believed there were two responsible parties: the driver and the pursuing police officer.
.
The case gained renewed significance because OPD subsequently experienced another fatal pursuit involving an officer violating the department's pursuit restrictions. In February 2025, Detective Christopher Moulton attempted to stop a driver over an unreadable license plate; the ensuing pursuit ended with 49-year-old Gerald Neal being killed. Prosecutors declined to charge Moulton.
.
In March 2026, previously unseen video obtained through records requests provided additional visual documentation of the Alvarez pursuit and crash. The footage showed the pursued Lexus running the red light and striking Alvarez's car while Colon had been following without emergency lights or siren.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND
Officer Esequiel Colon was the Orlando police officer whose unauthorized pursuit culminated in the crash that killed Delmy Alvarez.
.
OPD's own internal investigation sustained the pursuit-policy violation. Colon acknowledged that he did not have reasonable suspicion of a qualifying forcible felony and that the circumstances did not meet department pursuit criteria. He also acknowledged that he had not activated his emergency lights during the pursuit.
.
Colon received a 40-hour suspension and additional training. Rather than lose pay, he was allowed under the applicable employment agreement to surrender five days of paid leave. He remained employed by Orlando Police Department as of the March 2026 follow-up investigation.
.
The department's response drew criticism beyond Alvarez's family. Policing experts reviewing the internal records questioned both the pursuit and the level of discipline. Retired Minneapolis Police Chief Tim Dolan said the pursuit did not comport with the rationale behind OPD's restrictive policy, while University of South Carolina criminologist Geoffrey Alpert criticized the department's enforcement of its own prohibition.
.
The Alvarez case also exposed an institutional accountability problem at OPD: the department investigated its own officer, did not refer the fatality for an independent FDLE investigation, did not initially publicly disclose its role in the crash, withheld records while citing an active investigation and disciplined Colon internally rather than treating the pursuit as an independently investigated officer-caused fatality.

On 08/12/2024, the Vermillion Police Department received information that 40-year-old Kevin Ray Kirchner was suicidal, was armed with a rifle, and might be violating a protection order. Officers located Kirchner driving on U.S. Highway 50 west of Vermillion and initiated a traffic stop based on the reported welfare concern and possible protection-order violation.
After Kirchner stopped his vehicle, officers approached on foot. Before officers reached the vehicle, Kirchner shot himself with a rifle. Officers immediately rendered emergency medical aid until EMS arrived, but Kirchner died at the scene from the self-inflicted gunshot wound. The South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation was requested to investigate the incident, which is standard procedure for deaths occurring during law enforcement encounters.
Subsequent reporting identified Kirchner by name and confirmed the circumstances leading to the traffic stop. No publicly reported civil lawsuit, settlement, criminal investigation of the officers, or disciplinary action arising from the incident was located through the latest available reporting.

On 08/12/2024, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers responded to a domestic violence call involving a weapon at a residence on Watersonway Circle. While officers were en route, dispatchers remained on the line with a caller inside the home and responding officers heard multiple gunshots as they arrived. Officers entered the residence to stop the ongoing violence and locate the victims.
Inside the home, officers found two teenage girls suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers then located 41-year-old Ashley Nolan and her husband, Thomas Joseph Nolan, dead in the backyard. Investigators determined that Thomas Nolan fatally shot Ashley before shooting the couple's two daughters and then killing himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Thomas Nolan was a former Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department reserve officer who served with the department for more than 20 years before retiring in May 2024. He had also previously served as a Marion County Sheriff's Office reserve deputy and later worked as a school resource officer with Perry Township Schools. Ashley and Thomas Nolan were married, making the shooter both her husband and a former law enforcement officer.
The two teenage daughters survived after being transported to area hospitals with serious gunshot injuries. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police investigators classified the incident as a domestic violence-related murder-suicide. Following the shooting, family members established a fundraising campaign to assist the daughters with their recovery.

On 08/12/2024, Alexandria police responded to the Alexandria Overlook Apartments at 5101 Maris Avenue after one of Paul G. Behan Jr.'s coworkers reported that Behan was intoxicated, despondent over a recent job suspension, experiencing marital problems, armed with a firearm, and threatening suicide. Officers responded to conduct a welfare check. When Behan opened the apartment door, he was holding a Beretta CX4 Storm 9 mm carbine under his chin and repeatedly stated that he wanted to kill himself. Officers immediately backed away, created distance, and began negotiating with him.
Over the next approximately 24 minutes, patrol officers and a trained crisis negotiator repeatedly attempted to persuade Behan to surrender peacefully. Body-worn camera footage later released by the Alexandria Police Department showed officers encouraging him to put the rifle down, reminding him that he had reasons to live, and attempting to de-escalate the encounter. During the standoff, Behan twice raised and pointed the rifle toward officers. After the second time he aimed the weapon at police, a Special Operations officer fired three rounds, striking Behan. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Alexandria Police Department requested an independent criminal investigation by an outside law enforcement agency. The investigation was presented to Alexandria Commonwealth's Attorney Bryan Porter, who concluded in October 2024 that the officer's use of deadly force was legally justified and declined to file criminal charges. Following that decision, the department released body-worn camera footage and investigative materials. The officer who fired was described as a nine-year veteran assigned to the Special Operations Team, but Alexandria Police did not publicly identify him by name.
Following release of the body-camera footage, Interim Chief Raul Pedrosa stated the department would conduct a separate administrative review examining policy compliance, training, supervision, and crisis-response practices. Public reporting through 2026 identified no civil lawsuit filed by Behan's family and no disciplinary action against the involved officer.
