Zaim Bojcic

How they died

Deadly force

Bosnian immigrant Bojcic had survived a stint in a concentration camp and had been in the US for 10 years. With other refugees he habitually sat curbside at a Starbucks chain smoking. The manager asked a visiting local officer to ask him to stop smoking or leave. This developed into the officer hitting the unarmed Bojcic, who had broken no law, with a stun gun, then shooting him to death.
