Crawford picked up an un-packaged BB/pellet air rifle inside the store's sporting goods department and connected shopping in the shop. Some other customer, Ronald Ritchie, called nine-ane-1 challenge that Crawford had been pointing the gun at young man customers.[x] Security camera footage showed that Crawford was talking on his cellphone and holding the BB gun as he shopped, merely at no signal did he aim the BB gun at anyone. After the security camera footage was released, Ritchie recanted his statement that led to the fatal shooting and stated, "At no point did he shoulder the burglarize and point it at somebody", while maintaining that Crawford was "waving it around".[xi]

Two officers of the Beavercreek Law arrived at the Walmart before long after their dispatcher informed them of a "subject field with a gun" in the pet supplies area of the store. Crawford was later pronounced expressionless at Dayton'southward Miami Valley Hospital.[12]

A second person, Angela Williams, died after suffering a eye assail while fleeing from the shooting. Her expiry was ruled a homicide (which legally means only that the death was as a directly result of the actions of another and does non imply guilt or responsibility on anyone's part).[thirteen]

Constabulary business relationship [edit]

According to initial accounts from Officeholder Williams and the other officer involved, David Darkow, Crawford did not respond to verbal commands to drop the BB gun and lie on the ground, and somewhen began to move as if trying to escape. Believing the BB gun was a real firearm, one of the officers fired two shots into Crawford'due south torso and arm. He died of his injuries shortly afterwards.[xiv] [15]

Store video [edit]

The shooting was captured by the store'southward security video camera.[16] Crawford was talking on his cell phone while holding the BB/Pellet air burglarize when he was shot to expiry by Williams.[17] The video shows the officers fired almost immediately afterwards entering the store and sighting Crawford belongings the BB gun. From the video, it is unclear whether officers gave exact commands, and whether Crawford was shot before or subsequently he reacted to the officers. [18]

Backwash [edit]

The Guardian revealed in Dec that immediately afterwards the shooting, law aggressively questioned Crawford's girlfriend, Tasha Thomas, threatening her with jail time. The interrogation caused her to sob uncontrollably, with hostile questions suggesting she was boozer or on drugs when she stated that Crawford did not enter the store with a gun. She was not notwithstanding enlightened of Crawford's expiry at the time of the interrogation.[19] Thomas died in a car crash in Dayton several months later on on January 1, 2015.[20] [21] [22]

Following the shooting, a thousand jury decided not to indict whatsoever of the officers involved on charges of either murder, reckless homicide, or negligent homicide.[23] [24] The U.Southward. Department of Justice (DOJ) conducted its own investigation.[25] [26] [27] Sean Williams, the officer who shot Crawford, was removed from normal duties until the federal investigation was complete.[28] In 2017, the DOJ appear that it declined to seek federal charges against the officer, who returned to total duty soon after.[29] [30]

The 2017 DOJ report stated: "To establish willfulness, federal regime would be required to prove that the officer acted with the deliberate and specific intent to do something the constabulary forbids. This is one of the highest standards of intent imposed past law. Error, misperception, negligence, necessity, or poor judgment are not sufficient to constitute a federal criminal civil rights violation... ...To constitute that Officer Williams acted willfully, the government would be required both to disprove his stated reason for the shooting – that he was in fear of death or serious bodily injury – and to affirmatively establish that Officer Williams instead acted with the specific intent to violate Mr. Crawford's rights. The evidence here simply cannot satisfy those burdens. Appropriately, the review into this incident has been closed without prosecution."[31]

Crawford'due south mother believes that the surveillance tape shows the police lied in their account of events,[18] and has spoken out against the killing at a "Justice for All" march.[32] The family filed lawsuits for negligence and wrongful death against Walmart, the metropolis of Beavercreek, and the police force officers involved.[33] [34] [35] In 2020, the city of Beavercreek and the family settled their accommodate for $1.seven million.[9]

Ohio State Representative Alicia Reece proposed a "John Crawford's Law", which would change the way toy guns look to forestall similar tragedies.[36]

Ohio is an "open comport" state, in which the open carrying of firearms is legal with or without a license, which prompted word of gun rights and race.[37]

Media reaction [edit]

The incident received local and international[38] [39] [40] coverage, in part due to the time of its occurrence; the then-contempo police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and the subsequent unrest in that location had attracted public attention, as did the death of Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York, and the shooting of Tamir Rice in Cleveland.[41] [42] [43]
