What happened
Doll Pierre-Louis was shot and killed by a Florida Highway Patrol motorcycle trooper during a traffic encounter near the Palmetto Expressway in Miami-Dade County on May 25, 2016. Surveillance video showed the trooper approaching Pierre-Louis's red Nissan and then climbing onto its hood as the car began moving. The trooper fired through the windshield before leaping clear. Pierre-Louis continued driving, collided head-on with another motorist's SUV and crashed into a fence. He died despite a bystander's attempt at CPR. His family questioned the officer's decision to position himself on the car and use deadly force, and announced plans to sue. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated the incident.
