Marvin Pognon

How they died

Deadly force

Pognon was wrapping up a night of partying with friends at the Mansion nightclub when he entered a pizza restaurant nearby just after 4 a.m. A fight erupted between Pognon's friends and group of others. It snowballed into the kitchen and wrapped up with the men leaving. Surveillance video from inside shows Pognon walking out with his hand on his friend's shoulder and talking on his cell phone. Shortly after a Miami Beach police officer in uniform shot him outside as he was standing in front of his car.
