Dominique Jean

Male, Black

Date of the incident: 10/29/2013

Jean was observed by a police officer at a gas station near Miami International Airport, stuffing newspapers under a tank and trying to light them. When caught, Jean attacked the officer with a screwdriver and knife, and (by some reports) trying to bite off the officer's thumb. Jean was tasered then fatally shot, after which the officer quickly reached the station's emergency shut-off valves, preventing an explosion.
