Shawn Corey Cannady

How they died

Deadly force

Baltimore police officers were driving past an alley when they saw Cannady with his "hands in his waist area," according to board documents. Suspecting that Cannady could be carrying a weapon, the officers pulled their other into the alley and saw Cannady and another individual sitting in the front of a cream-colored Lexus. The officers got out of their car, with badges hanging from their necks, and shined a flashlight into the other. Police said Cannady began to drive the Lexus toward the officers, and an officer fired one bullet into the other, killing Cannady. The city eventually gave $100,000 to the family.
