Maurice Sentel Mincey

Deadly force

Around 9:30 p.m., officers pulled a car over after the driver allegedly drove through a stop sign. As officers and the driver were talking outside of the car, the passenger, Maurice Mincey, remained inside. Mincey allegedly removed a gun from his waistband and placed it in between his legs. SPD Officer Thomas Love was standing on the driver's side of the car and ordered Mincey to put his hands in the air, but he failed to comply. Mincey got out of the car, grabbed the gun and was moving toward another officer on the passenger side of the car. Officers shot and killed him. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation originally reported that Mincey fired or aimed a firearm at police. That statement has since been retracted.
