The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) responded to public criticism after video showing a deputy punching a girl as she lay on the ground after a traffic stop appeared on social media earlier this week. Phone video shot by a bystander captures the deputy striking the girl as the person taking the video screams in shock. The Facebook post of the video is captioned “A friend asked me to post her 17 yo daughter getting hands put on her by Milwaukee county sheriff department yesterday.” A few seconds into the video, another deputy steps forward, obstructing the view of the struggle.

Marion County, Florida — On Tuesday, October 24, 2023, at approximately 7:15 p.m., an MCSO deputy conducted a traffic stop on a dirt bike near the intersection of SE Maricamp Road and Emerald Road. The driver, later identified as 26-year-old Rasheem Edwards, could not produce a valid form of ID. During the traffic stop, Edwards fled on foot toward a field where a youth sports practice was being held. The deputy gave chase and, after running a short distance, Edwards pulled out a firearm he was carrying on his hip. Edwards then fumbled the firearm, causing it to fall to the ground.

Edwards immediately reached down and picked up the firearm, at which time he was shot by the pursuing deputy. Edwards was transported to a local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. FDLE is investigating the shooting. The deputy is on paid administrative leave, as is standard practice. Edwards was a convicted felon, having been convicted of Attempted Burglary in New York, and it was illegal for him to possess this firearm. The deputy, who as the victim of a criminal offense has invoked the protection of Marsy’s Law, is not being identified at this time.

According to the Mobile Police, officers conducted a traffic stop near the corner of Dauphin Island Parkway and Halls Mill Road shortly after 5:30pm last Thursday.

Officers on the scene detected the presence of marijuana and asked both the driver and passenger to exit the vehicle.

The driver, Beezer Earl Dubose Jr., 36, was arrested on charges of speeding, assault, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest.

Video taken on the night of Oct. 17 shows a dramatic scene in a West Phoenix residential neighborhood involving a suspect who, according to police, jumped onto the roof of homes in the area.

According to police, the incident began to unfold in the area of 38th Avenue and Mobile Lane, where officers tried to stop a vehicle.

"The vehicle failed to yield to the traffic stop and felony flight was established," read a portion of the statement. "Officers did not initiate a pursuit of the vehicle. Rather, it was tracked to the area of 35th Avenue and Roeser Street."

Police say the suspect, identified as 29-year-old Jamie Chavira, was seen jumping into the backyard of several homes in an area neighborhood, and at times, on the roof of homes.

"Eventually, with the assistance of a K-9 deployment, the man was taken into custody," read a portion of the statement.

The state inspector general on Wednesday released a preliminary report and video showing a city man pointing a gun at a police officer who then fired "multiple" times, killing the 44-year-old as he was running away.

Inspector General Judge Robert Devlin identified the man killed as Jamie Grant, who family members said went by the name "Frank White" and was a father of six.

Los Angeles, California — On September 4, 2023, at 1:11 p.m., East Los Angeles Station deputies responded to a business in the 300 block of South Atlantic Boulevard in unincorporated Los Angeles, regarding a call of a person with a gun. Information in the call indicated a male entered the gas station and took several items. He removed a handgun from his backpack and held it down to his side as he fled the location. The male was later identified as 32-year-old Eduardo Villasenor of Commerce. Deputies located and contacted Villasenor walking in the 400 block of South Atlantic Boulevard and ordered him to stop.

Villasenor did not comply and a deputy-involved shooting occurred. Villasenor was struck by gunfire, dropped the handgun, and fell to the ground. Deputies rendered first aid until the arrival of the Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics. Villasenor was transported to a local hospital where he was listed in stable condition. A loaded semiautomatic handgun was recovered at the scene. It was later determined Villasenor committed an armed robbery at the business. Following the robbery, Villasenor fled the scene and pointed his handgun at a male approximately one block west of the gas station. There were no other persons injured in the incident.
