1. Amaree’ya Henderson

Amaree’ya Henderson was killed by KCKPD on April 26, 2023, after a confrontation during a traffic stop. Police haven’t released much information surrounding the incident, but the family says he was unarmed and posed no threat to police.

According to the Star, Henderson’s mother was on the phone with him during the moments of his death. She says Henderson called her on FaceTime and asked her to come to where he had been pulled over. Moments later, she overhears gunfire. His fiancée, who was in the car when he was shot, recalls officers “grabbing, pulling, punching” Henderson before he was shot twice.

Last week, protesters, civil rights organizations and community members gathered at the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department, demanding that the bodycam footage be released.

Henderson’s mother, Pauletta Johnson, spoke at the rally telling the crowd her son didn’t deserve this type of ending.

“He was a great human being and an awesome son,” said Pauletta. “It’s never been a day in his 25 years of life that he has disappointed me and he has always put family first.”

She continued, “What was taken away from me was my only son that I can never get back. I’m scared and I feel like I’m about to fall apart.”

2. Dalaneo Martin

Dalaneo Martin, a 17-year-old Black teen, was shot at killed last month by U.S. Park Police in Washington, D.C. after the teenager was found sleeping in a vehicle police say was stolen.

Newly released body camera footage was released by police, which has led to an FBI civil rights investigation into the deadly shooting.

“The loss of a life is always tragic but is especially heartbreaking when it involves a child,” the US Attorney’s Office in Washington said in a statement, calling the bodycam video “extremely upsetting. In coordination with the FBI Washington Field Office, the United States Attorney’s Office has opened a civil rights investigation into the circumstances leading to Mr. Martin’s death. That investigation – which we are committed to conducting diligently and thoroughly – is ongoing.”

According to reports, officers from Park Police and the Metropolitan Police were responding to a call about a stolen vehicle. When officers arrived on the scene, they observed Martin asleep with the ignition on. The video then shows officers discussing whether they should break the vehicle’s window to pull Martin out. 

“Once you break it, he’s gonna wake up, start it and put it in drive to go. We don’t want nobody to get hurt,” one officer is heard telling another in the bodycam footage.

The video then shows officers as they continue to strategize about detaining Martin.

“So, here’s the plan. He’s knocked out. The back window is just a plastic. I’m going to try to cut that out quietly, unlock the door. If he doesn’t get startled, doesn’t wake up then we’re going to try to get in there, grab him before he puts that car in gear,” said one of the officers. “If he does take off, just let him go.”

Officers from both agencies approach the vehicle and try pulling Martin out. A Park Police officer then jumps into the backseat yelling, “Police, don’t move. Don’t move. Don’t move.”

In a panic, Martin then drives off with the Park Police officer still in the backseat. The officer then yells at Martin to stop, but the vehicle keeps going.

“Stop man, just let me out. Let me go,” yells the officer. “Stop. Stop or I’ll shoot!”

The officer then shoots Martin causing the vehicle to crash into a house as the officer jumps out.

According to US Park Police, Dalaneo Martin died at the scene. They also claim a gun was recovered from the vehicle after his death. None of the officers involved have been identified.

Dalaneo’s mother, Terra Martin told CNN that her son shouldn’t be dead and demanded the officers involved be publicly identified and held accountable for their actions.

“This pain hurts so bad. I just want justice for my son,” said Terra. “And I need the officer to be locked up, all of them that played a role.”

4. Alaunte Scott

Alaunte Scott was shot and killed by U.S. Marshals as he was taking the garbage out of his home on Tuesday afternoon in southeast Washington, D.C., the Washington Post reported. Scott’s mother said the Marsdhs claimed they were trying to execute an arrest for a parole violation before shooting her son in the back because they allegedly saw the 22-year-old holding a gun.

None of the Marshals were wearing body cameras.

5. Gershun Freeman

Gershun Freeman, 33, died Oct. 5, 2022, inside Shelby County Jail after an encounter with his jailers in Memphis. 

A 13-minute-long edited video released by the Nashville District Attorney’s Office shows officers handing out meals to inmates. When officers get to Freeman’s cell, the video shows Freeman lunging at officers and nearly a dozen officers trying to subdue him. In the video, Freeman can be seen getting kicked, punched and paper sprayed repeatedly by officers. 

According to the autopsy summary, Freeman suffered cardiac arrest while he was restrained and his death has been classified as a homicide.

6. Darryl Tyree Williams

On Jan 17, Darryl Tyree Williams, 32, was violently arrested by Raleigh Police in North Carolina. During his arrest, he warned officers about a heart condition fearful that the arrest could complicate his condition. But officers didn’t heed his warning and repeatedly tasered him before he lost consciousness. Williams would later die in the hospital.

According to Yahoo, Williams was in the driver’s seat of a vehicle when officers conducting a proactive patrol approached the Black man. The incident obtained by AP states that officers noticed an open container of alcohol and marijuana in the car and asked the occupants to step out.

The report also says that an officer decided to arrest Willians after finding a dollar bill with a “white powdery substance consistent with the appearance of cocaine” during a strip search. But the bodycam video, which was released by police, tells a different story.

In the video, Williams can be seen telling officers about his heart condition, then asking “Why are you all doing this to me?”

7. Alonzo Bagley

 Alonzo Bagley, 43, was shot in the chest by Shreveport officer Alexander Tyler after police responded to an alleged domestic disturbance call.

After receiving the complaint, officer Tyler and his partner arrived at Villa Norte Apartment Complex around 11 p.m. to investigate the call. When the officers encountered Bagley, he allegedly jumped from a balcony, trying to escape on foot. 

Authorities then say that’s when officer Tyler saw Bagley round the corner of a building. Tyler then fired one shot, hitting the unarmed Black man in the chest. Bagley was given CPR and then taken to a hospital where he later died.

Louisiana State Police Superintendent Col. Lamar Davis told the public during a recent press conference that the incident was recorded on police body camera, and will be made public, though his timetable for the release was vague. Davis has asked the public to “remain patient as we continue to conduct a very thorough investigation.”

A spokesperson for the family told KSLA, that the incident started when a neighbor called the police because the music was too loud in Bagley’s apartment. He went on to say that Bagley and his wife were both inside the apartment when police came and at some point, Bagley did run from the police before he was shot.

The family has also hired attorney Ron Haley, whose clients include the family of Ronald Greene, a Black motorist killed in 2019 by Louisiana state police. 

8. Anthony Lowe

Anthony Lowe, 36, died in late January after officers from the Huntington Park Police Department chased him while he fled on the stumps of his legs, video footage recorded by a bystander shows.

9. Tyre Nichols

On Jan. 7, Tyre Nichols was violently arrested after Memphis PD suspected him of reckless driving.

According to MPD, “a confrontation occurred” after officers approached Nichols, who “fled on foot.” A second unspecified “confrontation” occurred when MPD tried to take Nichols into custody, police said.

“Afterward, the suspect complained of having a shortness of breath, at which time an ambulance was called to the scene. The suspect was transported to St. Francis Hospital in critical condition,” MPD said of Nichols, who died Jan. 10 at the age of 29.

Police body camera footage, which is expected to be released this week has been called “disgusting and “damaging.” Some city officials believed the video is so bad that police officers involved should prepare to face criminal charges.

On Friday, the Memphis Police Department (MPD) fired the five officers involved stemming from their roles Jan. 7 when, according to the law enforcement narrative, Nichols was suspected of reckless driving. MPD said “a confrontation occurred” after officers approached Nichols, who “fled on foot.” A second unspecified “confrontation” occurred when MPD tried to take Nichols into custody, police said.

Three fire department employees were fired and 13 police officers have been disciplined after the death of Tyre Nichols. Five former police officers have been charged with murder.

10. Takar Smith

On Jan. 2, Takar Smith, 45, was shot and killed by two LAPD officers after he raised a 10-inch (25-centimeter) butcher-style knife above his head during an altercation with officers. Before using lethal force, police also used a stun gun and pepper spray.

According to AP, Smith’s wife called the police to enforce a restraining order against him but warned officers that her husband had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and had not been taking his medication. She also warned of his aggressive nature telling the dispatcher, “He’s not in his right mind.” 

Instead of calling for a specially trained mental health team, LAPD took an aggressive approach and approached Smith with their weapon drawn. After a 15-minute altercation with police, Smith became increasingly manic and incoherent, grabbing a knife from the kitchen counter. Officers yelled at Smith to “drop the knife,” pepper spraying then tasing him until he fell to his knees pleading with officers to “get away!”

Smith then picked the knife up he a dropped after being stunned and lifted it above his head. Two officers then fired seven shots, killing Smith on the scene. 

11. Keenan Anderson

On Jan. 3, Keenan Anderson was tased and killed by Los Angeles Police after a traffic accident led to a police altercation.

According to the LAPD, when officers arrived on the scene, Anderson was acting erratically and was running in the middle of the street. The officer began to talk with Anderson and called for backup to conduct a DUI investigation. 

Officials said once more units arrived, Anderson started to get nervous and began to flee the scene. 

That’s when, “officers struggled with Anderson for several minutes, utilizing a TASER, bodyweight, firm grips, and joint locks to overcome resistance,” the LAPD said in a written press release.

But body camera footage, which was released this week, paints a picture of a scared Black man pleading for help as officers overwhelm him from all angles.

Video from the arrest shows officers struggling to detain Anderson and tasing him for more than 30 seconds straight before an officer pauses and then tases him again for five more seconds.

Once Anderson was detained and arrested, he was transported to a local hospital where he went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead.

Anderson, who is the cousin of Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, was a dedicated high school teacher and father. His tragic death has sparked outrage in the community as family and friends demand justice and accountability for his death. 

“My cousin was asking for help, and he didn’t receive it. He was killed,” Cullors told the Guardian after watching LAPD’s footage. “Nobody deserves to die in fear, panicking and scared for their life. My cousin was scared for his life. He spent the last 10 years witnessing a movement challenging the killing of Black people. He knew what was at stake and he was trying to protect himself. Nobody was willing to protect him.”

12. Derrick Kittling

A local police officer shot and killed a Black male driver who was allegedly unarmed for reasons that were not immediately disclosed. Video footage recorded at the scene includes one account that claimed the Rapides Parish Sheriff’s deputy behind the shooting in the city of Alexandria shot the driver “in the head.”

The driver was ultimately identified as Derrick Kittling, 45, whose brother is a high-ranking official in the Louisiana State Police department, which is the law enforcement agency tasked with investigating the shooting.

Kittling was shot and killed on Sunday afternoon, but details beyond that are unclear.

Local media reported a narrative provided by law enforcement that described Kittling as the aggressor.

The graphic footage showed an apparently lifeless body lying on a street as the still-unidentified police officer who shot him rummages through the trunk of his cruiser. The officer then goes over to the body and begins putting on handcuffs, according to bystanders who could be heard speaking on the video.

“He ain’t have no gun or nothing,” a voice can be heard saying as the camera pans across the scene. “He just shot that man in the head.”

13. Jaheim McMillan

Jaheim McMillan died on Oct. 8, 2022, after being taken off life support more than two days after a police officer gunned down the 15-year-old over suspicions he was armed, according to the law enforcement narrative. McMillan was one of five young teens in a car that was reported to have threatened drivers by waving guns when police arrived outside of a local Family Dollar store on Thursday. The police presence prompted two people in the car to flee, leaving behind McMillan and two others.

During a press briefing, Gulfport Police Chief Adam Cooper said “McMillan was armed” and did not comply with orders to drop a gun.

“McMillan turned both his body and his weapon toward the officer,” Cooper continued. “The officer fired at McMillan,” striking the teenager.

Eyewitnesses have said McMillan did not have a gun and complied before he was shot once in his head.

14. Ali Osman

Police in Phoenix, Arizona, killed 34-year-old Ali Osman while he was in the throes of a mental health crisis on Sept. 24, 2022. The killing sparked outrage from the city’s Somali community, according to the Phoenix New Times.

Police said Osman was throwing rocks at officers’ cars.

“Commands were given for the man to stop. He did not; that’s when the officer involved shooting occurred,” Phoenix police said in a statement.

It was later determined that Osman was not armed with any weapons.

15. Donovan Lewis

Twenty-year-old Donovan Lewis had a vape pen, not a gun, when he was shot at about 2 a.m. after police executed a raid on his apartment in an effort to arrest him for outstanding warrants on Aug. 30, 2022. Bodycam footage from the shooting shows multiple cops led by 30-year veteran officer Ricky Anderson, who was holding a leash to a police K9 in one hand and his gun in the other. When Anderson pushed open Lewis’ bedroom door, instead of allowing the K9 to go inside, the officer promptly shot and killed Lewis on sight.

16. Dante Kittrell

On July 29, 2022, 51-year-old Dante Kittrell was shot and killed by South Bend Police after a 40-minute standoff with officers trying to calm him down.  Police believed Kittrell was armed with a handgun, but would later find out after an investigation that the weapon was a toy airsoft gun made to resemble a Glock. Officers claim they did not know it was a fake gun.

According to reports, as police tried to get Kittrell to drop the weapon he responded to officers by saying things like, “I’m ready to die,” “end this,” “fire it,” and “if I point my weapon at you, you have to do your job, right?

Body camera footage from the incident was released and shows an erratic Kittrell in the moments before officers shoot him.

Police say Kittrell pointed the weapon at officers which lead to them shooting him three times, killing him on the scene.

An investigation by St. Joseph County and Mishawaka alleges that police had no way of knowing that the weapon Mr. Kittrell pointed at the police was not a real handgun. The investigation also revealed that Kittrell’s death had been ruled a “justifiable homicide” because the officers who shot him, “believed that their lives and those of their fellow officers were in danger from Mr. Kittrell pointing what they believed to be a handgun at them,” a press release stated.  No charges will be filed against the South Bend police officers.

17. Jason Lipscomb

Jason Lipscomb, 21 was shot and killed by Gastonia police on July 20 in North Carolina. According to authorities, Lipscomb was trying to escape police when he struck an officer with his moving vehicle.

Police arrived on the scene of the 400 block of North Edgemont Avenue after receiving a call that a man had kidnapped children that he was not supposed to have. After locating the children safely, officers turned their attention to Lipscomb who was not on the scene at the time. Police were able to locate him shortly after using a vehicle description. When officers tried to arrest Lipscomb, he ran to his vehicle and tried to flee the scene. While trying to escape from the parking lot, Lipscomb struck one of the officers with his vehicle, and multiple officers opened fire into his car. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Video from a nearby doorbell camera was released, which shows a 12-second clip of the encounter. In the video, you can see a handful of people running away from officers. Lipscomb then hops into a vehicle and tries to quickly reverse out of the parking space to leave. His car appears to strike multiple people and then shots are fired.

The officer who was hit by the vehicle was taken to the hospital but is expected to make a full recovery. He was also placed on paid administrative leave. Jason Lipscomb’s mother believes that the police force was excessive and that Jason should not be dead.

“They didn’t have to kill him, they could have used a Taser on him, they could have stopped him if they wanted to,” she told WBTV.

The family also says Lipscomb did not kidnap any children.

“He brought the kids here in a mutual place so he can get his daughter. Nothing happened,” his mother said to WBTV. “Just give him his daughter and they didn’t do it. The mom called the police and everything else and said he was kidnapping. But they all live together.”

Lipscomb’s stepfather, Robert Hamlett says the family will fight until they get justice for their son.

 “I’m not going to let it go, he said, “We are going to do this. Lawyer up y’all. Y’all better lawyer up.”

18. Kyle Dail

On July 28, 30-year-old Kyle Dail was shot and killed by a Dallas, Texas, police officer while officers attempted to arrest him on suspicion of drug dealing at an LBJ Food Mart, according to WFAA 8. 

On Aug 2, Dail’s family joined Dallas activist Dominique Alexander in demanding that the DPD release all of the unedited videos, “including any dashcam and helicopter videos to prove the chase happened, WFAA reported. They also demanded the officer who killed Dail be fired and charged with Dail’s death.

19. Robert Adams

Robert Adams, 23 was shot in the back and killed by San Bernardino Police on Saturday as he tried to run away from officers. According to authorities, police were investigating complaints about an illegal gambling facility in the area.

During their investigation officers parked their unmarked vehicle a few yards from the facility. Security camera footage shows Adams, who was working as a security guard, walking in the direction of the unmarked police vehicle, when officers jumped out with their guns drawn.

Adams got scared and began to run away. According to CBS News, within 15 seconds of getting out of their car, officers shot Adams in the back as he tried to escape between two cars. He later died at the hospital.

Police claimed Adams was armed while he was running away, but his family says that is a lie and that their son was murdered in cold blood.

“I could understand if he was a threat to them,” Adams’ mother Tamika Deavila King told CBS News. “But he was not a threat to them. He was running for his life.”

The family also claimed that the officers who killed Adams never identified themselves as police.

“They just hopped out with the gun and they didn’t say anything,” said Adams’ best friend.

SBPD Chief Darren Goodman has asked the community to stay calm while the facts present themselves.

“We are asking the community to please withhold their judgment on the situation until they have all the available facts and details,” said Chief Goodman in a release.

But Adams’ family wants justice and they say they won’t stop until they get it.

“We want justice,” the victim’s stepfather Audwin King told CBS. “We want his badge. We want his job. We want murder charges.”

20. Roderick Brooks

Roderick Brooks, 47, was shot and killed on July 8 by Texas police after authorities say he had shoplifted and assaulted a clerk from a Dollar General in Westfield. According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Brooks was tased by Sgt. G. Hardin, then shot in the neck after an alleged scuffle for the officer’s taser.

Police say officer Hardin spotted Brooks and began to chase him. Hardin tased Brooks, jumped on his back, and began beating on Brooks.

Authorities say Brooks then reached for the officer’s taser, but the family of the slain Black man say he was only trying to defend himself and shooting him was “unjustified and unnecessary.”

“My brother was treated worse than an animal,” Brooks’ older sister told the Houston Chronicle.”Shoplifting does not warrant killing a man.”

 The family’s attorney, Sadiyah Evangelista criticized Harris County Sheriff’s Office for its lack of growth and accountability after the death of George Floyd sparked protests all over the country.

“You would think that law enforcement officers … would be on high alert, would be vigilant about the standard of care that they give and the de-escalation of crime,” she told HC. “But in this case, that did not happen.”

21. Jayland Walker

Killed in the early morning of Monday, June 27, 25-year-old Jayland Walker deserved a chance to go home to his family. After a reported high-speed chase, police pursued Jayland on foot. He was cornered by at least eight police officers.

By all accounts, Jayland was unarmed at the time he was shot. As previously reported by NewsOne, body camera footage showed a chaotic scene in the moments before officers killed Jayland. In deference to his family, officials blurred out Jayland’s body in the footage.

During a press conference Sunday, July 3, the Akron police chief said the number of rounds discharged by officers was on, but confirmed that the medical examiner’s report noted 60 wounds on Jayland’s body. Nearly a week after killing Jayland, none of the officers involved have given a formal statement, but the community is to be reassured that they are “cooperating.”

22. Omari Cryer

Omari Cryer, a 25-year-old Black man shot and killed by a U.S. Marshal in the Chickasaw neighborhood of Louisville on Friday May 20, 2022. 

According to Louisville Metro Police Department, the LMPD were assisting the U.S. Marshals Task Force in serving a warrant on a suspect named Omari Cryer.

Cryer was accused of domestic violence, strangulation, and assault.

According to reports, while officers tried to serve the warrant, an altercation ensued. During the encounter, a U.S. Marshal discharged his weapon and shot Cryer. Officers on the scene tried to administer first aid, but Cryer was pronounced dead on the scene.

But witnesses who were on the scene tell a much different story. According to Demond Bullard, who was sitting on his porch during the altercation, Cryer was running away.

“They immediately hopped out of the vehicle and they ran after him,” Bullard told  WHAS11. “Within five seconds of chasing him, there were gunshots.”

Bullard also told reporters that he didn’t see or hear Cryer shoot back at police.

Cryer’s family, as well as the community of Louisville, demand answers from police and want the officers involved to be held accountable.

23. Patrick Lyoya

Patrick Lyoya’s family demanded the Grand Rapids police department release video footage showing his killing. The 26-year-old was killed on April 4 during an alleged “routine” traffic stop.

As previously reported by NewsOne, Peter Lyoya, Patrick’s father, spoke to the outlet M-Live via his interpreter Israel Siku.

“I don’t know what to do because I am confused. I want justice for Patrick,” the elder Lyoya said. “I want people to see the way my son was killed. I want the entire world to see how my son was executed.”

The Lyoya family moved from the  Democratic Republic of Congo to the United States seven years ago in search of a better life.

M-Live reported Michigan State Police showed Patrick’s father a brief clip of the fatal shooting. The grieving father claimed that the officer shot Lyoya in the back of the head as he lay on the ground face down. (Read the full article here).

An unidentified Grand Rapids police officer pulled Lyoya over to conduct a traffic stop on April 4 around 8 a.m., after officials claimed the young man was driving a vehicle with an unregistered license plate. According to M-Live, the Grand Rapids Police Department placed the officer on administrative leave pending the internal investigation.

Kent County Commissioner Robert Womack previously condemned the shooting on Facebook, calling it “an execution.”

 “Gun violence by my community or by the police will not be tolerated. This man was murdered in a way that I cannot accept,” he added.

24. Irvin D. Moorer Charley

A Richland Couty police officer shot and killed  Irvin D. Moorer Charley in Columbia, South Carolina on March 19. 

Moorer Charley suffered from mental health issues. According to officials, deputies, John Anderson and Zachary Hentz were responding to a domestic violence call at the house of Connie Craig, the mother of the victim. When they arrived on the scene, Moorer Charley came outside and approached officers with a piece of wood in hand. Officers believed it to be a knife.  His brother pleaded with the deputies not to shoot because Moorer Charley didn’t have a gun and had a history of mental illness.

According to the body cam footage, which was edited and shared with the family, Moorer Charley slowly approached a deputy, the officer pointed his gun at him yelling for him to drop the knife. Another officer then tased Moorer Charley, but the taser had little affect on him. The deputy who yelled at Moorer Charley to drop his weapon then shoots him seven times until Moorer Charley falls to the ground. Moorer Charley’s family has demanded the full video be released to the public, but Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott believes the shooting isn’t something everyone needs to see.

Lott also defended the actions of his deputies basically stating they did what they had to do.

“We can’t expect these deputies to go out here and be killed,” said Lott in a statement to the AP. “They have to protect themselves. And that’s what this deputy did yesterday. He protected himself.”

But the family’s attorney Shaquana Cuttino believes deputies had no right to kill Moorer Charley.

“We believe officers could have disarmed Mr. Charley easily and without the use of deadly force,” said Cuttin. “Yet they came in with guns blazing.”

The Richland County Sheriff’s Department will be investing the incident with an internal investigation, then a prosecutor will decide if the shooting was justified.

25. Thelonious “RaRa” McKnight

Thelonious “RaRa” McKnight died on Dec. 29, 2021, after an officer with the Paterson Police Department in New Jersey shot the 25-year-old under questionable circumstances.

“A cop car drove by and then came back and stopped,” McKnight’s friend and eyewitness Duke Snider told the Bergen Record the day after the shooting. “One of the cops came up and went straight for Thelonius. Then two other cops joined him. They marched Thelonius toward the backyard and made him take his hands out of his pockets.”

The Bergen Record reported: “Snider said that he followed and that McKnight was facing police with his hands up when they shot him.”

26. Kokou Christopher Fiafonou

Minnesota police in the city of Austin killed Kokou Christopher Fiafonou, an immigrant from Togo in West Africa, by shooting him to death in the parking lot of a convenience store on Dec. 23, 2021.

Police say that witnesses claim they saw Fiafonou walking in traffic while holding a machete. When the cops responded, they reportedly used their Taser guns to no avail as Fiafonou was able to flee to his residence. He was shot and killed after he later merged from his home and walked to the convenience store, police said.

Kossi Adayi, one of Fiafonou’s cousins who lives in Austin, said in a GoFundMe that police were “harassing” Fiafonou “and eventually murdered him.” He also said Fiafonou “was walking home praying out loud to himself” on Dec. 22 when officers with the Austin Police Department stopped him for being loud and harrased [sic] him and followed him his whole way home, instead of helping him because he has a mental disorder.”

27. Alhaji M. Sow

Alhaji M. Sow, an 18-year-old student enrolled at the Florida Institute of Technology, was shot to death on Dec. 3, 2021, by police officers who claimed he was wielding a knife that he used to injure other students. He allegedly had a knife. The trained police officers definitely had guns. The Black teen is dead because cops couldn’t figure out a way to take him down alive.

28. Anthony Harden

On Nov. 22, 2021, police in Fall River, Massachusetts, responded to a report of domestic violence by shooting and killing 30-year-old Anthony Harden in an encounter that was only being described by local media outlets as an unspecified “altercation.” Citing the local district attorney, all of the reports said a variation of what WCVB reporter Matt Reed tweeted: “at least one officer fired their gun killing Harden and that a a [sic] knife was present at the scene of the altercation.”

29. Andra Murphy

Andra Murphy was killed by police in Tennessee on Oct. 6, 2021, under questionable circumstances. According to a press release, Murphy was killed in the town of Bolivar when police shot him shortly after an unidentified gunman threatened correctional officers and fled the scene. However, “many believe Murphy was not the individual who was initially at the scene,” the press release from Ben Crump, the civil rights attorney representing Murphy’s family, said in part.

30. George Watson

According to the police narrative, officers responded after someone called 911 to report a man brandishing a gun on an apartment balcony. The Washington Post reported that a cop fired at George Watson when he aimed the gun at police. The 34-year-old died on the scene. Officers ultimately determined that Watson was armed with a pellet gun typically used with paintballs that does not pose any lethal threat.

31. Antwan Gilmore

Antwan Gilmore was asleep in his car in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 25, 2021, when he was approached by police officers, one of whom proved once again that cops—who are celebrated in “back the blue” circles for their bravery and willingness to put their lives on the line—often open fire at the faintest sign of perceived danger. The officers found Gilmore in his car “unresponsive” with his foot on the brake while the car was running. They also said they could see a gun in his waistband.

When the car begins to move forward, officers can be heard shouting “Don’t move!” and “Police!” just before the shots were fired—10 shots to be exact. After the shooting, the gun police said they observed on Gilmore’s person was still in his waistband. Opening fire on a moving vehicle goes against Metropolitan Police Department policy.

32. Robert Anderson, 38

Robert Anderson was killed in Crescent City, California, on Aug. 25, 2021, after the 38-year-old former bus driver from Detroit had a fatal encounter with California Highway Patrol and officers with the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office. Police claim that Anderson was walking in the road with a knife in his hand. Reports mention body camera footage from multiple sources, but none was immediately released.

A Facebook video post made by Anderson that morning showed he appeared distressed and was shirtless walking through the woods. A friend of Anderson’s who saw him shortly before the shooting also said he was acting strangely during their visit. The combination suggests that Anderson may have been experiencing a mental crisis when police confronted and killed him.

33. Tory Brown, 22

Police gunned down Tory Brown on the night of Aug. 24, 2021, at the Chelsea Garden Apartments in College Park, Georgia, because he allegedly had a warrant out of Clayton County for violation of probation and cops said he refused to comply with police demands to exit an apartment.

No guns were found in Brown’s home, which means cops who were among a team of trained officers, none of whom were injured in the incident, felt the need to open fire on an unarmed man who did nothing more than “quickly advance towards” them.

34. Ryan LeRoux, 21

Ryan LeRoux, a 21-year-old Black man, was killed in Maryland on July 19, 2021, in a McDonald’s parking lot under questionable circumstances that cast doubt on the police narrative.

Four Montgomery County police officers responded by firing a total of 24 shots at LeRoux “over the course of several seconds,” the Washington Post reported, because they said he had a gun. His father said LeRoux’s gun was legally owned. There is no evidence that LeRoux wielded the gun, let alone threatened the police with it. In fact, it’s unclear what prompted the police to use deadly force if their lives were not threatened.

LeRoux’s father said he was shown about 25 minutes of bodycam video that police have said is too dark and “very difficult to see,” effectively allowing them to control the narrative of the shooting. Nevertheless, police have also said they “believe” the footage shows LeRoux brandishing the gun.

“So far, they have been unable to prove to me that my son raised a gun,” Paul LeRoux said. “They have not proved to me that Ryan showed any reason to justify the amount of lethal force.”

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich has called for a full investigation into the shooting that was allegedly prompted by LeRoux refusing to move his car from the McDonald’s drive-thru.

Local news outlet 11Alive reported that a witness said Williams was not armed with a knife when he was shot.

55. Sincere Pierce

Sincere Pierce, 18, was driving in Cocoa, Florida, when police tried to pull him over about “a possible stolen car.” Dashcam video shows the car tried to drive around Brevard County Office squad cars when officers fired multiple times at close range, killing both Pierce and 16-year-old passenger A.J.

67. Yassin Mohamed

A police officer in Georgia shot and killed Yassin Mohamed on May 9 in the city of Claxton.

According to the press release, in the hours before the shooting, Mohamed “attacked an officer with a pipe, as well as attacked an ambulance.” When the deputy who killed him responded to another call about Mohamed being “on foot in the middle of the road,” the press release says Mohamed threw rocks at the deputy. “Mohamed then charged the deputy with a larger rock at which point the deputy discharged his firearm, striking Mohamed,” the press released said. Mohamed died at the scene at the age of 47. 

The GBI has stated that it would turn its investigation over to the district attorney once completed. Until then, no charges can be filed in the death of Mr. Mohammed and it remains unclear if the police involved in the shooting is still on active duty.

74. Darius Tarver

Darius Tarver, a 23-year-old University of North Texas student, was shot and killed by police in Denton, Texas, on Jan. 21 during a confrontation at an apartment complex. According to the cops, Tarver was approached by responding officers after residents called 911 about a guy who was banging on doors and yelling for someone to let him in. “Tarver’s father, a McKinney Police Department chaplain was allowed to see the bodycam from the shooting and believes it sharply contradicts official narratives,” civil rights attorney S. Lee Merritt said.

75. William Green

Green was reportedly pulled over for driving erratically, handcuffed and placed in the front seat of a police cruiser in Prince George’s County, Maryland, on the night of Jan. 27 before a police officer entered the car and shot him while he was restrained by the cuffs as well as a seat belt.

O’Neill did not activate his body camera during the encounter, which is against city policy. Logan’s family announced they sued the city and O’Neill. The lawsuit claimed O’Neill violated Logan’s civil rights in several ways, including using excessive force with willfulness and reckless indifference and subjecting him to “unlawful treatment on the basis of race.” The lawsuit also blamed the city for not properly training, supervising, controlling and disciplining officers. The family alleged the city also violated the constitutional rights of residents on a “regular basis” by rarely investigating wrongdoing by officers.
