Key facts

• Aug 14, 2024: EPS officers executing a child-exploitation search warrant near 15th Ave & 54th St; the man "produced a knife," and both officers fired. He was shot 12 times and killed; one officer had a shallow knife wound.
• ASIRT cleared both officers: "The force used was proportionate, necessary and reasonable in all the circumstances."

Filed as the representative clearance: the standard ASIRT outcome for a fatal EPS shooting is exoneration, not charge.
