Keenan Roosevelt Griffin

How they died

Vehic/Purs

Keenan Roosevelt Griffin was speeding while driving his father's 2004 Cadillac SRX shortly before 4 a.m. when police officers attempted to make a traffic stop. Griffin "wouldn't stop immediately, but then finally did stop." As an officer began to walk up to Griffin's other, Griffin took off again. Since Griffin had only been pulled over for a possible traffic violation, "there was no chase or pursuit or anything like that," although police did follow Griffin. Griffin was apparently unaware of the policy, and continued to flee until he hit a flagpole and died.
