This is a list of people reported killed by non-military law enforcement officers in the United States in October 2018, whether in the line of duty or not, and regardless of reason or method. The listing documents the occurrence of a death, making no implications regarding wrongdoing or justification on the part of the person killed or officer involved. Killings are arranged by date of the incident that caused death. Different death dates, if known, are noted in the description. The table below lists 4 people.
October 2018
| Date | Name (and age) of deceased | State (city) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2018-10-18 | Crooks, Neico (21) | Florida (Miami Gardens) | Crooks was shot and killed after being confronted by officers while driving a car that was reported stolen.[1] |
| 2018-10-10 | Busse, Jr., Kenneth (21) | Nevada (Las Vegas) | Two police officers pulled over Busse's truck, who they suspected was driving impaired and partaking in an earlier hit-and-run. Busse refused to follow police directions and then fled to a nearby bush where he had a concealed handgun and pointed it at the officers, firing one round. The officers responded by firing a total of six shots. Busse was later pronounced dead on arrival, and was suspected of purposely escalating the encounter to cause a suicide by cop.[2] |
| 2018-10-08 | Ramirez, Isaiah (36) | Tennessee (Oak Ridge) | A sergeant police officer along with 5 police deputies including a K-9 unit approached Ramirez, who had a criminal history, for an outstanding warrant. On seeing the police Ramirez got into his pickup truck and attempted to flee. The officers pursued and eventually cornered Ramirez in a parking lot. When Ramirez attempted to flee one of the officers fired at Ramirez, striking him three times. He died shortly after. Subsequent investigation found Oxycodone, Alprazolam, Amphetamine and Buprenorphine in Ramirez's body and the officer who fired was cleared of wrongdoing. Footage of the incident was released in February 2019.[3] |
| 2018-10-03 | Phillips, Lajuana (36) | California (Victorville) | Deputies fatally shot her while responding to reports of an assault at a used car lot.[4] |
