Walter James Ferebee

How they died

Deadly force

Police stopped Ferebee's green Pontiac Grand Am because it had a license plate registered to a gray Buick belonging to a business. After getting out of the car, Ferebee ignored multiple police commands to drop his weapon and get on the ground, police said. The fifth officer to arrive on the scene, after more warnings, fired three bean bags at Ferebee. When Ferebee pointed his 9mm Luger at police, two officers fired their weapons, killing him.
