What happened
Christopher Michael Dew was killed by Irving police in Texas on January 29, 2016. The national Fatal Force record identifies the date, agency and city but does not provide a verified full reconstruction of the events leading to gunfire. The initiating police contact, any allegation that Dew possessed or used a weapon, and the conclusions of the department's internal or criminal review must be checked against local source documents before being treated as fact. This entry records the confirmed death and law-enforcement involvement without turning missing case details into claims that a particular officer was justified or acted unlawfully.
