George Edward Mulligan Jr.

Age :39

Gender :Male

Race : White

Date : 08/12/2024

Location : West 8th Street

City : Front Royal

County : Warren

State : Virginia

Agency : Front Royal PD, Warren County Sheriff’s Office, Virginia State Police, Winchester PD, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office, Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Suicide

Event : Suicide under police duress

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/12/2024, at approximately 11:00 p.m., officers with the Front Royal Police Department responded to a residence in the 200 block of West 8th Street after receiving a report of a domestic disturbance. When officers arrived, they encountered a woman outside the home. George Edward Mulligan Jr. remained inside the residence armed with a handgun while two young children were also believed to be inside. Officers moved the woman to safety and established a perimeter around the residence as the incident escalated into an armed barricade.
Initial reports stated that officers were being fired upon after a bullet shattered the front window of the residence. However, a subsequent investigation determined that only one shot had been fired, that the round broke the front window, and that it was not fired at responding officers. The Front Royal Police Department later publicly corrected its original account and acknowledged that officers had not come under gunfire.
Officers from the Warren County Sheriff's Office, Virginia State Police, Winchester Police Department, Frederick County Sheriff's Office, and Rappahannock County Sheriff's Office assisted during the several-hour standoff. Negotiators repeatedly attempted to establish contact with Mulligan without success. Officers entered the residence through the rear and safely rescued the two children. After additional attempts to communicate failed, officers deployed gas canisters into the residence. A drone deployed by the Frederick County Sheriff's Office located Mulligan deceased inside the home. Officers entered the residence at approximately 3:00 a.m. and confirmed that he had died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The Front Royal Police Department publicly expressed regret for its initial inaccurate statement that officers had been fired upon and stated that the corrected findings were released in the interest of transparency. No officers fired their weapons during the incident, and no officers or civilians were physically injured. Public reporting through 2026 identified no civil litigation arising from the incident.

Geraldine Francis

Age :79

Gender :Female

Race : Black

Date : 08/11/2024

Location : Northwest Sixth Street and Northwest 27th Avenue

City : Fort Lauderdale

County : Broward

State : Florida

Agency : Broward County Sheriff’s Office

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Bystander killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/11/2024, shortly before 4:00 p.m., two marked Broward Sheriff’s Office vehicles followed a rented Tesla Model 3 driven by a teenager through unincorporated Broward County near Fort Lauderdale. Surveillance video and the subsequent arrest affidavit showed the Tesla traveling as fast as 85 mph on roads with a 35-mph speed limit while the BSO vehicles followed behind it. Witnesses described the encounter as a high-speed police chase and reported that the deputies were traveling without emergency lights or sirens. The publicly released arrest records did not explain what initially caused deputies to begin following the vehicle being pursued.
The vehicle continued west on Northwest Sixth Street at high speed and entered the intersection at Northwest 27th Avenue against a red light. The Tesla struck the driver’s side of a Dodge Durango driven south by 55-year-old Lisa Marie Jackson. Jackson’s 79-year-old mother, Geraldine Rosetta Francis, and Jackson’s 18-year-old daughter, Kumani Jackson, were passengers in the Durango. The collision forced the Durango airborne and redirected it into a Chevrolet Trax that had stopped at the intersection. The Trax overturned, while the Tesla and Durango crashed through a chain-link fence surrounding a cemetery.
Lisa Jackson and Geraldine Francis were transported to Broward Health Medical Center, where both died from their injuries. Kumani Jackson suffered critical injuries and remained in Florida for months receiving extensive medical treatment. The family had traveled from Bermuda because Kumani was preparing to begin university in Florida.
The teenager being pursued suffered severe injuries, including the loss of a leg. He was arrested at the hospital and charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, reckless driving causing serious bodily injury, three counts of aggravated fleeing and eluding, and additional reckless-driving offenses involving injuries and property damage.
The inclusion of three aggravated fleeing and eluding charges confirmed that law enforcement treated the Tesla’s movement before the crash as an effort to evade deputies. BSO placed two deputies on restricted administrative assignment and opened an Internal Affairs investigation into whether the deputies had initiated or continued an unauthorized pursuit. The publicly released records did not identify the two deputies.

Joshua VanderZiel

Age :21

Gender :Male

Race : White

Date : 08/10/2024

Location : 9400 block of Washington Boulevard (U.S. Route 1)

City : Elkridge

County : Howard

State : Maryland

Agency : Anne Arundel County Police Department

Officer(s) : Officer Alexander Rodriguez

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Driver killed by unauthorized police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/10/2024, at approximately 4:11 a.m., 21-year-old Joshua Andrew VanderZiel was riding his motorcycle on Washington Boulevard (U.S. Route 1) in Howard County when Anne Arundel County Police Officer Alexander Rodriguez began pursuing him. State investigators determined Rodriguez initiated the pursuit without authorization, never notified dispatch, never activated his emergency lights or siren, and never obtained permission to continue the pursuit into Prince George's and Howard counties. The Attorney General's Office has not publicly identified the reason Rodriguez initiated the pursuit.
Investigators determined Rodriguez drove at speeds approaching 100 mph while following VanderZiel for more than four miles across three counties. VanderZiel's motorcycle collided with a flatbed truck that was making a left turn onto Washington Boulevard. He died at the scene from his injuries.
According to the Maryland Office of the Attorney General, Rodriguez stopped briefly after the collision, made a U-turn near the crash scene, and then drove away without rendering aid, notifying dispatch, or reporting the fatal crash. Three civilian witnesses, including the occupants of the truck, called 911. Rodriguez returned to Anne Arundel County, completed the remainder of his shift, and did not prepare a report documenting the pursuit or collision.
An eight-month investigation by the Maryland Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division used GPS data, patrol vehicle records, witness statements, and dashboard camera footage from the flatbed truck to identify Rodriguez as the pursuing officer. On 04/02/2025, a grand jury indicted Rodriguez on charges including manslaughter by vehicle (gross negligence), manslaughter by vehicle (criminal negligence), leaving the scene of a fatal crash, and five counts of misconduct in office.
On 04/10/2026, Rodriguez pleaded guilty to the felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. The remaining charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement. He resigned from the Anne Arundel County Police Department. In July 2026, VanderZiel's family filed a civil lawsuit against Rodriguez and Anne Arundel County alleging the unauthorized pursuit and subsequent cover-up caused Joshua's death. Joshua VanderZiel had served as a U.S. Navy Russian linguist and had recently completed training before his death.
Officer Rodriguez received a five-year sentence with all but 120 days suspended, followed by two years of supervised probation, 100 hours of community service, and agreed never again to seek a law-enforcement career.
Resigned/ended career. He is a former Anne Arundel County police officer and is barred by the plea agreement from returning to law enforcement in Maryland.

Gender :Male

Race : White

Date : 08/10/2024

Location : Route 16 near Hatchery Drive

City : Marion

County : Smyth

State : Virginia

Agency : Marion Police Department; Smyth County Sheriff's Office

Officer(s) : Deputy Hunter Reedy (deceased); Deputy Michael Fedorchuk (wounded); Marion Police officers not disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police after shooting officer

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/09/2024, a Marion Police Department officer attempted to stop a vehicle for a moving traffic violation on Route 16 in Marion. The driver continued approximately 1½ miles into Smyth County before stopping near the intersection of Route 16 and Hatchery Drive. Deputies from the Smyth County Sheriff's Office responded to assist with the traffic stop.
During the stop, officers issued the driver a traffic summons. According to investigators, the driver became upset after receiving the citation and opened fire on the officers. Smyth County Sheriff's Deputy Hunter Reedy was fatally wounded, and Deputy Michael Fedorchuk was seriously injured. Multiple officers returned fire, striking Timothy Wayne Goodman. Goodman was transported to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Virginia State Police recovered a firearm from Goodman's vehicle and assumed responsibility for the investigation.
The Virginia State Police obtained warrants charging Goodman with one count of aggravated murder, four counts of attempted aggravated murder, and one count of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Those charges were never adjudicated because Goodman died from the gunshot wounds he sustained during the exchange of gunfire with law enforcement.
Deputy Hunter Reedy had served with the Smyth County Sheriff's Office for seven years and was survived by his wife and three children. Deputy Michael Fedorchuk recovered from his injuries. Public reporting through 2026 identified no criminal charges or disciplinary action against the officers who returned fire.

Gender :Female

Race : Latino/a/e

Date : 08/09/2024

Location : Intersection of Wedgeford Road and Ruby Road

City : Arivaca

County : Pima

State : Arizona

Agency : U.S. Border Patrol (CBP)

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Passenger killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/09/2024, an unidentified woman was killed when a Chevrolet Tahoe carrying her and other migrants crashed and rolled near Arivaca while U.S. Border Patrol agents pursued the vehicle. Seven passengers were being transported in the Tahoe, and all seven were ejected during the crash. Federal prosecutors later confirmed that one woman died and three other passengers suffered serious injuries.
.
The encounter began when Border Patrol personnel received information about a gold Chevrolet Tahoe traveling south on Ruby Road that was suspected of being used to transport migrants. Agents determined that the license plate displayed on the Tahoe did not match the vehicle's registration and began following and coordinating an attempted stop.
.
Border Patrol agents located the Tahoe near Arivaca, approximately five miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border. Agents activated their emergency equipment to stop the vehicle based on their suspicion that its driver was engaged in human smuggling and the mismatched/fake license plate. The driver continued driving and Border Patrol pursued. Federal prosecutors subsequently identified the driver as 18-year-old Samuel Lopez-Ozuna.
.
The pursuit ended almost immediately when Lopez-Ozuna lost control of the Tahoe. The vehicle left the roadway and rolled, ejecting all seven passengers. One woman was killed and three other passengers suffered serious injuries. Lopez-Ozuna was also injured.
.
The subsequent investigation produced both state and federal criminal cases against Lopez-Ozuna. A federal grand jury indicted him in September 2024 on human-smuggling charges resulting in death and serious injury. Pima County separately prosecuted him for first-degree murder, unlawful flight from law enforcement and aggravated assault arising from the same pursuit and crash.
.
Lopez-Ozuna ultimately pleaded guilty in federal court to transportation of undocumented people for profit resulting in death. On 03/10/2026, U.S. District Judge Angela M. Martinez sentenced him to 10 years in federal prison.
.
OFFICER BACKGROUND
.
The individual U.S. Border Patrol agents who initiated and participated in the pursuit have not been publicly identified.

City : Tigard

County : Washington

State : Oregon

Agency : Private security

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Unknown

Event : Died after neck restraint by private security for reported shoplifting

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/09/2024, at approximately 9:54 a.m., a loss-prevention worker employed by a private security company detained 46-year-old Michael Letendre at the Safeway store at 15570 Southwest Pacific Highway in Tigard after accusing him of shoplifting. The security worker forced Letendre onto the ground and restrained him while awaiting police.
Witnesses told investigators that the security worker held Letendre by the neck during the restraint. Letendre became unresponsive before Tigard and King City police officers arrived. The security worker began CPR, and another store employee subsequently took over. Responding officers continued CPR and used an automated external defibrillator until paramedics transported Letendre to a hospital.
Letendre remained hospitalized and died on 08/16/2024, seven days after the restraint. His family reported that he had initially been revived but remained in a coma following the incident. He was the primary financial provider for his household and was survived by his wife and children.
The security worker was employed by a third-party contractor rather than Safeway. Safeway reported that the contractor informed the company that the worker was no longer employed following the incident. The worker’s name and the private security company’s name were not publicly released.
Tigard Police detectives investigated the death in consultation with the Washington County Major Crimes Team. The investigation was referred to the Washington County District Attorney’s Office for review of potential criminal charges and a possible grand-jury presentation. He had been the sole provider to his family with several children.

City : Seattle

County : King

State : Washington

Agency : Washington State Patrol

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Passenger killed in police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/08/2024, a Washington State Patrol trooper attempted to stop a Jeep Grand Cherokee on Boeing Access Road. The publicly released reports did not disclose the reason for the attempted traffic stop. The driver continued driving away while troopers pursued southbound on Airport Way South. During the pursuit, the fleeing vehicle struck the front of a second Washington State Patrol patrol vehicle. That trooper immediately terminated the pursuit.
Moments after the pursuit ended, the Jeep entered the northbound lanes of Airport Way South, left the roadway, struck a utility pole, and rolled over. Passenger Lois Katherine Phair, 66, was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. The driver attempted to flee on foot after the crash but was taken into custody. Investigators alleged the driver was impaired by drugs and later sought a second-degree murder charge because the passenger died during the commission of the felony offense of attempting to elude police. Two dogs were also in the vehicle; both survived the crash.
The Seattle Police Department Traffic Collision Investigation Squad investigated the crash in coordination with the Washington State Patrol. Public reporting through 2026 identified no criminal charges against the pursuing troopers, no publicly announced disciplinary action, no publicly reported civil lawsuit or settlement arising from the pursuit, and no public release identifying the troopers involved. A pitbull in the vehicle refused to leave her side after the crash.

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during arrest

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/09/2024, members of the U.S. Marshals Service Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force, assisted by the Anaheim Police Department, attempted to arrest 18-year-old Victor Antonio Delgadillo in the 1400 block of North State College Boulevard. Delgadillo was wanted by the Marshalltown, Iowa Police Department on a first-degree murder warrant stemming from a June 2024 homicide. Task force members located him in Anaheim and attempted to take him into custody.
During the arrest operation, an officer-involved shooting occurred. One Anaheim police officer and multiple members of the U.S. Marshals task force fired their weapons. Officers rendered first aid before Delgadillo was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Investigators recovered a firearm at the scene. A bystander was struck by a bullet during the exchange of gunfire, sustained a minor injury, and was treated and released from a hospital.
The Orange County District Attorney's Office assumed responsibility for the criminal investigation. The Anaheim Police Department's Major Incident Review Team, Internal Affairs Unit, Police Review Board, and Office of Independent Review also opened administrative investigations. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation placed the two involved CDCR peace officers on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Public reporting through 2026 has not identified the officers who fired their weapons, and no criminal charges against the officers have been announced.
In October 2025, Delgadillo's parents, Luis Delgadillo and Melissa Hernandez, filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of Anaheim, the United States, the State of California, San Bernardino County, and several individually named task force officers identified in court records as Addi Garcia, Jason Jorski, and Sylvia Ruiz. The litigation remained pending during 2026.

Nathain Jenkins

Age :32

Gender :Male

Race : Black

Date : 08/09/2024

Location : Walgreens store, 2670 Cobb Parkway SE

City : Smyrna

County : Cobb

State : Georgia

Agency : Cobb County Police Department (CCPD)

Officer(s) : Sgt. Adam Roberts

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during multi-officer altercation, police reportedly mistook cell phone for gun

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/09/2024, at approximately 11:30 p.m., Cobb County Police Department officers went to the Walgreens at 2670 Cobb Parkway SE looking for 32-year-old Nathain Jenkins because he had outstanding warrants. Officers located Jenkins inside the occupied store and followed him inside.
Two people reported being connected to Jenkins by telephone during his final moments. Jenkins’ stepfather, Darland Jackson, said he was speaking with Jenkins by telephone while driving into the shopping center. Jackson heard an initial series of gunshots, followed by officers shouting commands to get down, and then heard additional gunfire before the call went silent.
Jenkins’ friend Haley Glaze said she was connected to him by FaceTime and could see and hear part of the encounter. Glaze reported that Jenkins repeatedly told officers, “My hands are up,” while raising his arms. She said his shirt lifted as he raised his hands, officers then yelled that he had a gun, and police fired multiple rounds. Her account supports the possibility that the object visible in Jenkins’ raised hand was the cellphone being used for the FaceTime call, while a firearm may have been elsewhere on his body.
Cobb County police described the encounter only as an altercation and initially characterized Jenkins as armed. Police Chief Stuart VanHoozer later addressed reports that Jenkins had raised his hands and that officers mistook his cellphone for a gun. VanHoozer said he had not seen evidence supporting those accounts, but acknowledged that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was responsible for determining what occurred and that the involved officers had not yet been interviewed when he made those statements.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation reported recovering a handgun at the scene that belonged to Jenkins. The GBI’s public statement did not say Jenkins was holding the handgun when officers fired, pointed it at officers, fired it, or threatened anyone inside the Walgreens. The presence of a gun at the scene therefore does not by itself resolve whether Jenkins had the weapon in his hand during the shooting or whether officers mistook the cellphone for a firearm.
Cobb County officers fired multiple rounds, striking Jenkins inside the Walgreens. He was transported to Wellstar Kennestone Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Police did not publicly disclose how many officers fired, how many rounds were discharged, where Jenkins was struck, or the names of the officers involved.
Jenkins’ family and friends held a vigil outside the Walgreens and publicly challenged the police account. His family demanded the release of surveillance video, body-camera footage and other evidence showing whether Jenkins was complying, whether his hands were raised and what he was holding when officers opened fire.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation conducted the criminal investigation and requested information from witnesses who saw what occurred inside the store. The involved Cobb County officers were placed on paid administrative leave. Their names have not been publicly released in the available official statements or subsequent reporting.

Event : Passenger killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/09/2024, shortly before 1:30 a.m., a Germantown police officer attempted to stop a vehicle because its registration was suspended. Before the officer activated emergency lights or a siren, the driver accelerated away at a high rate of speed, and the officer initiated a pursuit.
The pursuit lasted approximately 1.12 miles and about 41 seconds. During the pursuit, the fleeing vehicle traveled at speeds exceeding 100 mph in a 35-mph zone, failed to stop at a stop sign at Donges Bay Road and Division Road, entered a private gravel road, lost control, struck a tree, and caught fire. Germantown police officers extinguished the fire and attempted to rescue the occupants from the burning vehicle.
Nineteen-year-old front-seat passenger Samantha Maria Recore died at the scene. The driver and a 17-year-old rear-seat passenger were seriously injured and transported to area hospitals. The Wisconsin State Patrol and the Washington County Sheriff's Office investigated the crash.
The Washington County Medical Examiner identified the decedent as Samantha Maria Recore on 08/12/2024. In September 2024, prosecutors charged the driver with vehicle operator fleeing/eluding an officer resulting in death, vehicle operator fleeing/eluding resulting in great bodily harm, homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle, and reckless driving causing great bodily harm. The criminal complaint stated the pursuit covered 1.12 miles in 41 seconds and that investigators reviewed squad video, body-worn camera footage, and radio traffic during the investigation.

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police after family homicide

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/08/2024, at approximately 2:51 p.m., Irvine Police Department officers responded to Green Tree Lane after multiple 911 callers reported that a man armed with a knife was chasing and stabbing a woman in the street. Responding officers arrived and observed 37-year-old Paul Parvea Montazer actively attacking 72-year-old Parvin Montazer in the driveway of her home with a knife.
According to the Irvine Police Department, officers repeatedly ordered Paul Montazer to stop the attack and drop the knife. Police stated that he turned toward the officers while still armed and advanced in their direction. Officers fired, striking Montazer. Officers immediately rendered medical aid to both Montazer and the stabbing victim until Orange County Fire Authority personnel arrived. Paul Montazer and Parvin Montazer were both pronounced dead at the scene. A knife was recovered at the scene.
Investigators determined that Parvin Montazer was Paul Montazer's mother. Irvine police stated there were no additional suspects and classified the incident as a domestic violence-related homicide followed by the police shooting.
In September 2024, the Irvine Police Department released body-worn camera footage, 911 recordings, and surveillance video from the incident as part of its Critical Incident Community Briefing process. The video showed officers arriving while the stabbing was still in progress, issuing repeated commands, and then firing when Montazer advanced toward them while holding the knife.
Public reporting through 2026 located no criminal charges against the involved officers, no publicly announced disciplinary action, no publicly reported civil lawsuit filed by the family arising from the shooting, and no public identification of the officers who fired the fatal shots.

Event : Killed by police during pursuit

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/08/2024, at approximately 12:17 p.m., New Mexico State Police officers and Colfax County Sheriff's Office deputies responded after receiving a 911 report that a man driving a maroon Dodge pickup had forced a Springer Electric Company vehicle off the roadway and pointed a firearm at its occupants. Officers located the pickup on State Road 505 and attempted a traffic stop. The reason for the pursuit was the report that the driver had run another vehicle off the road and threatened its occupants with a firearm.
The driver initially stopped but then reversed into a New Mexico State Police patrol vehicle and drove away, initiating a pursuit. Near the intersection of U.S. Highway 64 and New Mexico Highway 445, a New Mexico State Police officer performed a PIT maneuver. The pickup attempted to continue fleeing but collided head-on with a State Police patrol vehicle, disabling both vehicles. At that point, two Colfax County Sheriff's deputies fired their weapons, striking 42-year-old Tyrel Richter Cutchie. Deputies and officers immediately began lifesaving measures until EMS arrived, but Cutchie was pronounced dead at the scene by the Office of the Medical Investigator. Two New Mexico State Police officers and one Colfax County deputy sustained minor injuries during the incident.
The New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau conducted the independent investigation. The agency stated it would determine the sequence of events, collect evidence, and interview witnesses before forwarding its findings to the district attorney for review. Public reporting through 2026 located no criminal charges against the deputies, no publicly announced disciplinary action, no publicly reported civil lawsuit or settlement arising from the shooting, and no public release identifying the deputies who fired. Cutchie had been a sovereign citizen.

County : Hillsborough

State : Florida

Agency : Tampa Police Department, SWAT

Officer(s) : Joshua Williams

Cause of Death : Suicide

Event : Suicide under police duress during barricade and standoff

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/08/2024, at approximately 3:40 p.m., Tampa Police Detective Bryan Tracey was conducting a follow-up investigation involving reported harassing phone calls when the victim, a teenage female, reported seeing 18-year-old Damarion Murray at the Meridian Pointe Apartments on East Hillsborough Avenue. As Detective Tracey responded, Murray allegedly chased the victim while armed with a handgun, fired two shots at her, and forced her at gunpoint into an occupied apartment containing four adults and three children.
Responding officers forced entry into the apartment to evacuate the victim and the other occupants. Murray ran into a rear bedroom while officers remained near the doorway issuing commands for him to surrender. According to the Tampa Police Department and the Medical Examiner's findings, officers then heard one gunshot from the room, followed by a pause and a second gunshot. Believing they were being fired upon, Officer Joshua Williams, a five-year Tampa Police veteran with approximately ten years of prior law-enforcement experience, fired two rounds toward the rear room. Officers withdrew, and the Tampa Police SWAT Team established a perimeter and continued negotiations.
After the standoff ended, SWAT officers entered the apartment and found Murray dead inside a closet. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner determined that Murray died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, and investigators recovered a .380-caliber Bersa pistol along with physical evidence supporting that conclusion. Investigators also reported evidence that at least one round had been fired from the room occupied by Murray toward the officers before his death.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement assumed responsibility for the investigation into Officer Joshua Williams' discharge of his firearm. Williams was placed on administrative leave, consistent with department policy. Public reporting through 2026 identified no criminal charges, disciplinary action, or civil lawsuit against Williams arising from the incident. A search of publicly available records also located no verified prior officer-involved shootings, major disciplinary actions, criminal charges, or significant civil-rights lawsuits involving Officer Joshua Williams before this event.

State : Pennsylvania

Agency : Johnsonburg Police Department; Pennsylvania State Police; Pennsylvania State Police SERT

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by SERT militarized standoff during mental health crisis

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/08/2024, Pennsylvania State Police fatally shot 40-year-old Jacob Nathaniel Grebbien following an approximately 15-hour standoff at his residence in the 700 block of Penn Street in Johnsonburg.
The incident began during the afternoon of 08/06/2024 after Johnsonburg Police Department received reports of gunfire near Grebbien's residence. Officers responded and attempted to contact him through a family member after learning he was hearing impaired. Police temporarily cleared the scene after the family member reported Grebbien was safe.
Later that evening, police returned after an alarm company requested a welfare check and Grebbien sent messages stating he wanted "suicide by cop." Pennsylvania State Police responded and, with assistance from family members, attempted to persuade him to leave the residence. A mental health warrant and an arrest warrant were obtained after Grebbien continued sending suicidal text messages while stating he possessed a firearm.
Pennsylvania State Police activated the Special Emergency Response Team (SERT). Troopers deployed a drone inside the residence, where they observed the front entrance barricaded with furniture. The drone also showed Grebbien on the second floor holding what appeared to be a rifle while standing near a gasoline can before he disabled the drone.
Shortly before 8:00 a.m. on 08/08/2024, SERT members prepared to introduce chemical agents and repeatedly ordered Grebbien to surrender. Investigators said Grebbien texted that he was pouring additional gasoline inside the residence and intended to cause an explosion. Grebbien then exited the residence carrying a firearm, briefly returned inside, and emerged again with the firearm while advancing toward state troopers. Troopers fired, striking Grebbien. He died at the scene.
The Elk County District Attorney conducted a review and concluded that the use of deadly force by Pennsylvania State Police was legally justified under Pennsylvania law.

Gender :Female

Race : White

Date : 08/07/2024

Location : Intersection of Edith Boulevard NE and Alameda Boulevard NE

City : North Valley

County : Bernalillo

State : New Mexico

Agency : Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office; Albuquerque Police Department

Officer(s) : Deputy Bryan Lassley

Cause of Death : Vehicle

Event : Bystander killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

n 08/07/2024, Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office Deputy Bryan Lassley reported that he attempted to stop a silver Honda he considered suspicious while driving north on Edith Boulevard NE shortly after midnight. Lassley reported over the radio that he lost sight of the vehicle and moments later stated the Honda had stopped abruptly.
Deputy Lassley struck the rear of Alexandria Gerard's Honda with his marked Ford Explorer. The impact sent Gerard's vehicle into a stone wall at the intersection of Edith Boulevard NE and Alameda Boulevard NE. Gerard was trapped behind the steering wheel and died at the scene. Deputy Lassley was not injured.
Bernalillo County Sheriff John Allen requested that the Albuquerque Police Department conduct the criminal traffic investigation to avoid a conflict of interest. Deputy Lassley was placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation proceeded.
The Albuquerque Police Department's crash investigation later concluded that data downloaded from Lassley's patrol vehicle showed he accelerated to approximately 70 mph in a 25 mph zone seconds before the collision. The report concluded Lassley slowed briefly, then accelerated again immediately before striking Gerard's vehicle. Investigators also determined Gerard's Honda showed rear-end impact damage consistent with the Sheriff's Office push bumper.
Investigators documented that Gerard was not wearing a seat belt and that the driver's airbag in her Honda had previously been removed. The autopsy found fatal chest injuries consistent with the collision.
Body-worn camera video, lapel camera footage, surveillance video, radio traffic, and investigative reports were later released through New Mexico's Inspection of Public Records Act. The public release showed Deputy Lassley attempting to free Gerard immediately after the crash while additional deputies and Albuquerque Police personnel responded.After the fatal crash that killed Alexandria Gerard, Deputy Bryan Lassley was placed on paid administrative leave while the Albuquerque Police Department conducted an outside investigation. Investigators concluded that Lassley accelerated to approximately 70 mph in a 25 mph zone, followed Gerard's vehicle too closely, and did not have his emergency lights activated immediately before the collision. The case was referred to an outside prosecutor because of a conflict of interest, but no criminal charges were filed and Lassley remained employed by the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office.
Lassley later became the subject of a separate internal and criminal investigation arising from a December 2025 incident involving a handcuffed juvenile girl outside the Bernalillo County Youth Services Center. Body-camera video showed Lassley pushing the girl and investigators alleged he slammed her head against a patrol vehicle. Sheriff John Allen announced that Lassley would be terminated, describing the conduct as unacceptable. A grand jury later indicted Lassley on felony aggravated battery and child abuse charges. Before the disciplinary process was completed, Lassley resigned from the Sheriff's Office and pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges.
