Jovan Reed was a back-seat passenger in a rental car whose driver reportedly ran a stop sign at about 10:15 p.m. Police stopped the car in a driveway. Officer Frank Piatt shot Reed after he allegedly got out and pointed a gun. Witnesses disputed the police version, saying Reed did not have a gun and that police planted crack on him. Reed died at a hospital. In 2003, Platt had shot and killed Albert Rucker. Platt was also involved in a nonfatal shooting in 2005. In May 2010, investigators looked into whether Platt tried to plant some marijuana so that his girlfriend, officer Kara Hindman, could establish probable cause for obtaining a search warrant. Within a week, Platt applied for a service-connected disability pension and retired. Platt and Hindman weren't charged, though the department revised its policies for narcotics investigations.

29936Jesse L. Greer60MaleEuropean-American/White01/01/2008BeaufortSC32.4364318-80.6875725Beaufort County Sheriff's Department

Jesse Greer was killed by injuries received in custody after being forcibly removed from a cell by several people, held on the booking-room floor, fitted with a spit mask and placed in a restraint chair. Moments after returning him to the cell, staff "noticed that Greer's color in his face was turning ashen and that his head had tilted back and his eyes were rolling back."An autopsy ruled the death natural, "the result of excited delirium, likely due to chronic methamphetamine use," court documents state. Media reports don't state categorically whether he was booked, so this incident may be outside of FatalEncounters dataset, which does not include individuals after they've been booked into the jail or prison system.
