City : Crestone
County : Saguache
State : Colorado
Agency : Saguache County Sheriff’s Office
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed while being served papers
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On July 25, 2024, at approximately noon, a Saguache County Sheriff's Office deputy was driving near Crestone, Colorado, to serve legal papers. The deputy observed 40-year-old Jonathan Aaron Wood walking about a mile from the entrance of the Baca Grande Subdivision and recognized him as having active warrants, including a felony warrant in Saguache County for assault on a peace officer and a misdemeanor warrant in Mineral County for damaged property/criminal mischief.
.
The deputy attempted to contact Wood, who then attacked the deputy with a 4-foot metal pipe. In response, the deputy discharged his service weapon twice, striking Wood. Despite immediate life-saving measures, Wood was pronounced dead at the scene. The deputy sustained minor injuries, received treatment at a local hospital, and was later released.
.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is assisting the Saguache County Sheriff's Office in investigating the incident. Body-worn camera footage from the deputy, activated prior to the encounter, is under review by investigators. Following standard protocol, the deputy has been placed on administrative leave during the investigation.
.
At the time of the incident, Wood was wanted for a felony warrant related to an August 11, 2023, event where he allegedly acted erratically with a four-foot wooden stick, threatened deputies, and punched one in the head. His failure to appear in court for that assault charge led to the outstanding warrant.
.
NUMBER OF CASUALTIES DURING THIS POLICE ENCOUNTER: 1 fatality.
Investigating Agency: The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is leading the investigation.

Event : Operation Lone Star fatal pursuit
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On July 24, 2024, a male individual from Honduras was killed during a pursuit as part of Operation Lone Star in La Pryor, Zavala County, Texas. The Zavala County Sheriff’s Office was involved in the incident, though the names of the officers have not been disclosed. The individual died from injuries sustained in a vehicle crash during the pursuit. Further details about the exact circumstances of the chase, the tactics used, or the specific cause of the crash are not available at this time.
.
Operation Lone Star is a law enforcement initiative in Texas aimed at addressing illegal immigration, primarily by targeting migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border. The operation involves various agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety, local law enforcement, and the National Guard. However, the operation has faced criticism for its aggressive tactics, which have often resulted in fatal outcomes, especially during high-speed pursuits, confrontations, or border detentions. These fatalities disproportionately affect migrants, who are often pursued in dangerous conditions or involved in vehicle crashes as they attempt to flee from law enforcement.

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Corpus Christi PD were sent to the Four Winds Apartments for a domestic disturbance, encountered Preston Graham with a weapon and shot and killed him.
This was posted to social media by friends and family:
Family Seeks Justice for Beloved Son Killed in Police Shooting - Preston Graham, a 28-year-old loving father and loyal friend, was tragically killed in a police shooting at his Four Winds apartment complex on Monday night. His family is now seeking answers and justice, alleging inconsistencies by the police department.
According to his mother, Preston was a private person who avoided social media and was protective of his privacy. He had been living in Four Winds apartment complex for two months and was known to be a quiet and respectful neighbor.
However, Preston's ex-girlfriend had a history of harassment and had previously kicked down his door with a friend, prompting Preston to call the police, according to his mother Yvonne Brown. Despite this, no action was taken.
On the night of the shooting, Preston's ex-girlfriend allegedly texted him repeatedly, but he didn't respond as he was with his new girlfriend. Yvonne Brown says someone called the police, claiming he was breaking into his home and was "armed and dangerous". Another narrative Yvonne states she received was that a neighbor called police for a noise disturbance.
Preston's mother claims that the police department has been uncooperative about the events leading up to the shooting. She has been unable to obtain video footage from the scene and alleges that the police are trying to cover up any wrongdoing and even wiped Preston's video off his own security camera.
The family is calling for transparency and accountability, seeking answers about what really happened on that fateful July 22nd night. They want to ensure that Preston's legacy as a loving father and friend is not tarnished by false accusations.
