What happened
Kentrill William Carraway, 22, was shot and killed by Miami-Dade police Detective George Eugene during a narcotics investigation on May 19, 2016. Detectives assigned to a gang unit approached Carraway and several other men in North Miami-Dade. Police spokesperson Marjorie Eloi said Carraway reached into his waistband and produced a handgun; Eugene fired, and Carraway died after being transported to a hospital. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated the shooting. Contemporaneous Associated Press reporting identified the officer and the department’s initial explanation, but did not report a final prosecution decision. Whether the detective faced an imminent threat depends on evidence beyond the initial account, which remains attributed to police.
