Dominique Jean

How they died

Deadly force

Jean was observed by a police officer at a gas station near Miami International Airport, stuffing newspapers under a tank and trying to light them.The officer quickly reached the station's emergency shut-off valves, preventing an explosion. When caught, Jean attacked the officer with a knife after a taser failed to work, and (by some reports) trying to bite off the officer's thumb. Jean then attacked the officer with a screwdriver at which point the officer shot and killed him.
