What happened
The Washington Post records Kendre Alston's death in a fatal police shooting in Jacksonville, Florida on March 19, 2015. More precise case details are not reliably established by the sources reviewed for this pass. In particular, a national index does not reveal whether the initial police contact was a call for service, a pursuit or an investigation, and it does not substitute for interviews with witnesses or family members. The case requires Jacksonville Sheriff's Office investigative materials and contemporary local news reporting before the events immediately preceding the shooting can be described responsibly. In the absence of that documentation, this entry does not present any alleged threat or claim of necessity as a settled finding.
Investigation & findings
No final charging decision, civil outcome or independently verified witness reconstruction established.
