What happened
The national fatal-shooting record identifies Dante Noble as a person killed by police in the Spartanburg area on April 15, 2015. An independently compiled dataset spells the name Donte Noble and identifies a 41-year-old Black man killed near Canaan Pointe Drive, with a knife coded as the alleged weapon. These records may reflect the same person but a name discrepancy should be resolved against a death certificate, obituary or original official report before renaming the sheet. Neither the database's weapon category nor the existence of a fatal incident establishes the immediate threat level or what the officer witnessed. A full story requires Spartanburg Police Department records, local reporting, family testimony and the eventual investigative disposition.
Investigation & findings
Name spelling discrepancy requires verification; final investigation and any litigation outcome not established in this pass.
