How they died
Deadly force
Officers tried to stop Whitfield in connection with a burglary report earlier in the day. They stopped him in a rural area north of Greenville, triggering a standoff and the arrival of the SWAT team. Numerous officers and civilian witnesses saw Whitfield point his gun to his chin. Officers fired flashbangs that knocked him down, and Whitfield is alleged to have started firing at officers while he was on the ground, prompting the officers to shoot and kill him.
