A’Donte Washington

How they died

Deadly force

Millbrook PD received a report of a possible house burglary. Responding officers were advised that a suspicious other pulled into the driveway of a residence and that several male subjects went into the backyard, behind the residence. When officers arrived, took one person into custody and set up a perimeter around the residence to await backup. There was movement at the front door of the residence and officers confronted an individual at the door who retreated into the home and fired several shots at the officer. Four suspects fled the residence into the backyard, firing at the officers. The officers returned fire. Three suspects jumped the back fence and fled the area on foot. Washington exited the backyard through a fence toward the front of the residence, brandishing a firearm. He encountered an officer who shot him.
