How they died
Deadly force
Officer Jerad Kruse tried to stop George D. Bibins Jr. for a traffic violation at about 12:40 a.m. near 24th and Grand. Bibins, who was allegedly driving a stolen Jeep, fled, and a high-speed chase ensued. Seven minutes later, Kruse shot Bibins, who died at a hospital. Bibins was unarmed. Kruse was charged with manslaughter, but Douglas County Judge Lawrence Barrett dismissed the charge after Douglas County District Judge Mary Likes barred prosecutors from presenting evidence at a preliminary hearing. Kruse retired in 2001, citing PTSD caused by the shooting.
