Los Angeles, California — On September 15, 2023, at around 12:09 p.m., Newton Division uniformed officers responded to a radio call of a “Hot Prowl Burglary,” located at 1100 block of East 33rd Street. Shortly thereafter, details of the call were updated, indicating that four male suspects entered an apartment, bound and gagged the victim and stole the keys to his vehicle. As responding officers arrived, two of the four suspects, later identified as Justice Lockhart and Aaron Felnoy were taken into custody without incident. The third suspect, later identified as Jeffrey Askew, was observed by the Air Unit, on the roof of the apartment building. Askew jumped off the building and landed on the roof of an adjacent single-story structure. Askew then fell from the roof of that structure and landed on a cement walkway between the two buildings. As officers approached Askew to take him into custody and render aid, he reached into his front waistband and removed what officers believed to be a firearm.

Askew then appeared to point the object in the officers’ direction, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) and simultaneous deployment of a 40mm Less-Lethal Launcher. Askew was struck by gunfire and was taken into custody without further incident. Due to the unknown whereabouts of the fourth suspect later identified as Daiyann Henderson, officers carried Askew out of the immediate area, rendered medical aid, and ultimately brought him to Los Angeles City Fire Department paramedics, who were staged nearby. Askew was then transported by rescue ambulance to Los Angeles General Medical Center, where he was listed in critical but stable condition. Several minutes later, Henderson attempted to escape the perimeter by changing clothes and exiting the front of the apartment complex. He was subsequently observed by officers and was taken into custody without incident. The object that was observed in Askew’s hand at the time of the OIS, later determined to be a hammer with an overall length of 6 ½ inches, was recovered and booked as evidence. No officers or other community members were injured during the incident.

Policja w Milwaukee opublikowała film z kamery samochodowej oraz bodycam'u z wydarzenia, które miało miejsce w grudniu 2022 r., gdy mężczyzna ukradł radiowóz policji w Milwaukee, kiedyf unkcjonariusz przeprowadzał kontrolę ruchu drogowego. Oskarżonemu, 34-letniemu Danielowi Bartonowi, postawiono zarzut „przywłaszczenia i prowadzenia pojazdu bez zgody właściciela”. Ze względu na wniesioną skargę przez jednego z okolicznych mieszkańców, funkcjonariusz policji prowadził kontrole drogowe w pobliżu Holton i Keefe w Milwaukee tuż przed godziną 14:00. 5 grudnia 2022 r. Funkcjonariusz rozmawiał z osobami w zatrzymanym pojeździe, kiedy „zorientował się, że jego radiowóz odjeżdża w kierunku południowym ulicą N. Holton”. Funkcjonariusz poinformował przez radio, że został okradziony i podał kierunek, w którym poruszał się pojazd. Kilka minut później inny funkcjonariusz zauważył skradziony radiowóz w pobliżu Richards i Burleigh. Mężczyzna wyskoczył z samochodu i uciekł w boczną alejkę. Z raportu wynika, że kiedy w okolicy pojawił się rzeczony funkcjonariusz, przechodzień wskazał na kosz na śmieci mówiąc: „Jest w koszu na śmieci”. Oskarżony znajdował się w śmietniku z pokrywą zatrzaśniętą nad głową. W raporcie napisano, że „przegląd nagrania z kamery samochodowej pozwolił usłyszeć chichot kierowcy gdy odjeżdża samochodem, a następnie pokazuje, jak oskarżony opuszcza radiowóz i ucieka”. Barton został oskarżony i potem zwolniony z aresztu. W lutym wydano nakaz aresztowania za nie stawienie się na rozprawie.
