What happened
Reginald McGregor, 31, died in a Fort Worth police shooting on April 22, 2015. The Guardian's 2015 police-deaths dataset identifies the Fort Worth Police Department and records a firearm-related encounter. Reporting summarized in that project states that investigators were watching a residence because McGregor had outstanding warrants. Officers allegedly tried to block his car with patrol vehicles when he attempted to leave, and police said one officer was struck as the vehicle moved. Officers then fired, killing McGregor. The allegation that a vehicle was used against an officer comes from law-enforcement accounts and should not be treated as an independently adjudicated finding. The available archive entry does not establish that an officer was charged, that a jury reviewed the shooting, or how any subsequent civil claim was resolved.
