What happened
Lamont Gulley was shot and killed by Kentwood police in Michigan on April 8, 2016. The national fatal-shooting dataset lists Kentwood officers and the incident date. That record, however, does not establish the precipitating call, whether Gulley was armed or what the officers said prompted their use of deadly force. Nor does it independently confirm the outcome of any investigation by Michigan State Police or prosecutors. A detailed case account requires the specific local investigative record rather than assumptions based on other incidents. This entry therefore records the fatal encounter and leaves disputed or undocumented circumstances unasserted.
