Dwayne Jeune

How they died

Deadly force

Dwayne Jeune, who had a history of mental illness, was shot three or four times by police officers within seconds of their arrival after he allegedly charged at them with a 10-inch bread knife during a domestic disturbance. Officer Miguel Gonzalez opened fire after another cop tried to subdue Jeune with a Taser, "which proved to be ineffective," police said. The same officer who killed Jeune also shot and wounded Davonte Pressley in October 2016.
