What happened
Delvin Simmons was killed in a police shooting in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on November 9, 2015, as recorded in The Washington Post's Fatal Force database. The national database documents the name, location and date but is not by itself a substitute for an individual incident report. The circumstances that prompted officers to approach Simmons, the reported weapon status, any warnings or alternatives and the later investigative outcome have not been reliably corroborated in the reviewed material. This entry therefore does not invent details or present the death as an established example of a particular form of misconduct. These are questions for the original local and state investigative file.
