What happened
Jeray Chatham was shot and killed during a police encounter in Weatherford, Texas, on November 17, 2015. The Washington Post fatal-police-shooting dataset identifies the person, city and date, but the index alone does not establish the actions leading to officers' gunfire or the outcome of any later legal review. Specifically, the initial call, any reported weapon or threat, the role of responding agencies, witness evidence and prosecutor's findings need a separate local report before publication as facts. This account therefore documents the police-involved death and identifies the important unresolved case-specific questions without attributing invented conduct to Chatham or officers.
