Travis Paul Johnson

How they died

Deadly force

Officer Alton Jue and another officer, both in plainclothes, approached Johnson after he allegedly bought heroin in a Burger King parking lot. Police said Johnson backed up the car after they identified themselves as officers. When Jue's partner put his hands on the car hood to stop him, he allegedly accelerated, running over the officer's foot and knocking him down. Jue fired on Johnson, who died at a hospital.
