| Date | Name (age) of deceased | State (city) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2020-04-29 | Shaun Fuhr (24) | Washington (Seattle) | Police officers responded to a 9-1-1 call from a woman who said she had been beaten by her boyfriend, that he had fired a gun at her, and had kidnapped their one-year-old daughter. Following a brief foot chase in the Mount Baker neighborhood, and without warning, Shaun Fuhr was shot in the head while carrying his daughter. In footage from an officer's body camera, Fuhr does not appear to have a weapon.[1] |
| 2020-04-24 | Michael Ramos (42) | Texas (Austin) | Police officers responded to a 9-1-1 call following up on a report that two people were using drugs in a car in a parking lot and that the man in the car was waving a gun in the air. Officers confronted Ramos at the location, and with video showing Ramos having his hands in the air[2], an officer shot him with a bean bag round. Soon after, Ramos got into a car and began driving. An Austin police officer then fired a rifle at the moving car[3] and struck Ramos, who died of his injuries. Investigators executed a search warrant two days later and found no firearm inside or around Ramos’ vehicle.[4] |
