Kiwi Herring aka Kenneth “Kenny” Herring

How they died

Deadly force

Police said an officer shot and killed a transgender woman named Kenneth "Kiwi" Herring, who had stabbed an officer inside an apartment. A relative, Crevonda Nance, said police killed Herring shortly after responding to the latest dispute in an ongoing feud between Herring and neighbors. Fatal Encounters apologizes for the occasional use of birth names for transgender people. Police and news media often report the birth names instead of the real names, so we have to have both in our name field to prevent duplications in the dataset. It's disrespectful, and we're sorry about the necessity.
