What happened
Leslie Portis Jr. died during a police shooting in the Monroeville/Evergreen area of Alabama on October 14, 2015. His name and death appear in independent compilations of fatal law-enforcement encounters, but the public sources located for this review did not reliably establish which officer fired, what prompted the encounter, or the final criminal or administrative disposition. Some compilations place the incident in different nearby localities, making original county or state investigative records especially important. This entry preserves the documented death without inventing an armed confrontation, threat, medical crisis or acquittal that is not confirmed by a case-specific report.
