What happened
Diahlo Grant was shot and killed by Franklin Township police in the New Brunswick area of New Jersey on April 9, 2016. A national fatal police shooting record supplies his name, agency and date, but not a complete evidentiary account. In particular, the reason officers confronted Grant, their description of an immediate threat, any recovered weapon and the results of a county prosecutor investigation require primary documentation. The Washington Post's database inclusion is not itself a finding of wrongdoing or justification. No unsupported detailed reconstruction or legal outcome is asserted in this entry pending source-specific verification.
