Cause of Death
Deadly force
About 9 a.m., Trooper Jason Wade shot and killed a transgender woman, Jayne Thompson. Thompson reportedly ran at the trooper with a knife. Police often report deaths of transgender people by their birth identification, as they did in this case. Thompson may have been the second transgender person killed by police in May. Police and news media often report the birth names instead of the real names, so both are in the name field to prevent duplications in the dataset.
