Photos
editI took some photos and took the liberty of adding a few. Here are the rest. Lightburst (talk) 13:14, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
Officer Mensah
editMight be relevant: The officer has had three shootings in five years (2 all 3 dead). Lightburst (talk) 13:27, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- "Mensah has been involved in the shooting deaths of three people in five years. The 2015 fatal shooting of Antonio Gonzalez was ruled justified, as was the 2016 death of Jay Anderson" Fox 6 Lightburst (talk) 13:52, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
"Death" section
editWhy is the "Death" section so vaguely written? Did these incidents happen or didn't they? Was a gun recovered from the scene or not? These are basic details that should already be included in the article. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 00:02, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Shooting of Alvin Cole → Killing of Alvin Cole – Per established WP:CONSISTENT titles: [1]. Cole was killed and did not just get shot. The fact that he was killed is the most notable aspect of this subject. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:44, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support I created the article without a preference for the title, I can support name change as it would be consistent with other articles. Albertaont (talk) 23:08, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support per WP:CONSISTENT JackFromReedsburg (talk) 17:13, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:CONSISTENT. The vast majority of articles about fatal shootings (without a conviction for murder) use "Shooting of" titles. The nominator knows that, but has chosen to omit that from the provided information. — BarrelProof (talk) 04:28, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support - per nom. Fatal shootings should be titled "killing of ..." in the absence of a common name, per the arguments detailed at the centralized discussion RFC open at WT:AT. Lev!vich 05:26, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
