What happened
Deriante Deon Miller was shot and killed by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol near Kinston on March 27, 2016. The fatal encounter appears in The Washington Post's national police shooting data. The available entry identifies the person, agency, location and incident date, but not a complete verified reconstruction of a traffic stop or pursuit, any officer claim of imminent danger, or a later review by the State Bureau of Investigation and district attorney. Those details are material to determining why deadly force was used and cannot be inferred from the death itself. A case-specific report is necessary to develop this entry beyond the documented fatality.
