What happened
Anthony Ashford, 29, was shot and killed during a police encounter in the Point Loma area of San Diego on October 28, 2015. Police-accountability organizations included him among local residents killed by law enforcement that fall. The Washington Post's Fatal Force database also lists the death and location. Sources reviewed for this entry do not independently document the precise initiating encounter, what Ashford was doing at the moment officers fired, or any subsequent prosecutor's finding. Those details cannot responsibly be inferred from an entry in a national database. His inclusion records a fatal police shooting and identifies unanswered issues for further investigation rather than portraying an unverified version as fact.
