OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
In November 2021, 45-year-old Maurice Monk was found deceased in his cell at Santa Rita Jail in Alameda County, California. Monk, who suffered from schizoaffective disorder, had been arrested for a misdemeanor related to a dispute over mask-wearing on public transit during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unable to pay the $2,500 bail, he remained in custody.Reports indicate that Monk was left unattended in his cell for several days. Body camera footage revealed that deputies and medical staff delivered food and medication by tossing them into his cell without verifying his condition. When deputies eventually entered his cell, they discovered Monk unresponsive, surrounded by uneaten food trays and bodily fluids. The official cause of death was hypertensive cardiovascular disease. Monk's family subsequently filed a lawsuit, which resulted in a $7 million settlement. In November 2024, Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price filed felony charges against 11 individuals connected to Monk's death, including seven current deputies, two former deputies, and two medical staff members. The charges encompass dependent adult abuse, with three defendants also accused of falsifying documents related to the incident. If convicted, each could face up to four years in state prison.

Date : 11/09/2021
Location : 1523 Washington Avenue
City : Kalamazoo
County : Kalamazoo
State : Michigan
Agency : Kalamazoo Public Safety, Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Shot and killed under disputed circumstances
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On November 8, 2021, at around 10: 45 a.m., a standoff began at 1523 Washington Avenue in Kalamazoo when police from Kalamazoo Public Safety and the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office attempted to arrest Alex Rawls, a 35-year-old male, on charges related to a shooting incident on November 1 where he allegedly shot his ex-girlfriend's sister five times. The standoff lasted approximately 16 hours, ending around 3 a.m. on November 9, 2021. During this time, Rawls fired multiple shots at law enforcement, although no officers were injured. Officers returned fire, and Rawls was struck by several bullets. After the standoff concluded, Rawls was found deceased on the second floor of the residence. An autopsy later confirmed that while Rawls was hit by police gunfire, the fatal shot was self-inflicted, though police provided no proof of this assertion at the time. The incident drew significant attention due to the length of the standoff, the use of 'directed destruction' tactics by police to view inside the home, and the subsequent demolition of the property. Rawls' family has questioned the circumstances of his death, with his sister stating that he never spoke of suicide and that the system had failed him since childhood. The investigation was handed over to Michigan State Police, who placed the involved officers on administrative leave pending review. The family's skepticism and the lack of immediate evidence for the self-inflicted wound have contributed to ongoing discussions regarding the transparency and handling of such incidents by law enforcement.

Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during warrant service
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On November 5, 2021, members of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office attempted to execute a residential search warrant on Chelsea Avenue in Long Branch. During the operation, Mark D. Walker II shot and wounded one of the detectives. The detectives retreated, and Walker barricaded himself inside the residence with his two-week-old infant.

Walker fled the building holding the infant and fired several rounds at officers, striking a BearCat vehicle. In response, three MOCERT officers returned fire, fatally wounding Walker, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The infant was unharmed.
