Media report a “deputy-involved crash” that killed Louis Alexander Iorillo but the only 2 articles available at this time documenting this officer-involved death do not give details. It appears as though a deputy ran into a motorcycle on Highway 178 and killed the motorcyclist, Louis Alexander Iorillo. Jack Lee Brown, 31 was killed in the same multi-vehicle crash due to police chase.

Thomasville PD saw a man who had open drug warrants and escalated a high-speed chase through town which ended when the man crashed and killed bystander Jennifer Ferrell who was a third party motorist waiting at a stop sign. Ms. Farrell had been a beloved wife and mother and local Wendy's worker.

The local black community is very upset about this reckless police chase witnessed by locals. Interviews are linked below. Residents describe a police chase at very high speed that "flew by, ran stop signs" and crashed at very high speed. We at IncarcerNation are very familiar with Thomasville and know the exact spot where this happened. This is a small town and the streets are small, one of the intersecting streets where the fatal crash occurred being merely a single-lane residential street. Thomasville is 56% black, 41% white, total population 19,000. Thomasville is a small town but regionally important. This predominantly black population has a predominantly white male police force with the associated problems of such disparity. We are personally familiar with another case of Thomasville police brutality causing a life-threatening medical crisis in someone for the "crime" of having crossed the nearby Florida border with a small legal in FL amount of dispensary cannabis. An appeal was made this year to the PD which is familiar with the common excessive force of particularly their drug task force. Thomasville is a small town which is actively protesting this senseless pedestrian fatality over an attempted local drug bust, particularly since the black community is again held in disregard with his highly dangerous chase with predictable outcome, considering the location and events.
