What happened
Cedric Norris was shot and killed by an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper near Eufaula on January 21, 2016. The Washington Post includes Norris in its national fatal-police-shooting data. However, the underlying traffic or investigative encounter, any allegation about Norris possessing a weapon, the officer's stated reason for using deadly force and the final Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation or prosecutor assessment require case-specific verification. The inclusion of the incident in a police-shooting database does not answer whether officers acted lawfully. This entry preserves Norris's identity, date and place while explicitly leaving those details for further investigative research.
