California | Police StateList of people killed by law enforcement in Northern California
This is a list that the Stolen Lives Project in the Bay Area has compiled of people who were killed by police or other law enforcement in Northern California, from 2001-2004. I left some names out because I was unable to find more details about their deaths,a nd I am sure that there are others who have been killed. Please email me if you know of other people who were killed, or if you have corrections about any of these entries. We are also seeking longer entries that will go into the next edition of the book Stolen Lives: Killed by Law Enforcement Jamil Wheatfall, 36 years old, Afro-American beaten to death by Oakland

I also added this one to the database. He had been my housemate.
Michael David Roehl, a 38-year old homeless man from San Francisco, was killed by police in Orange, California, on March 21, 2003. Officers' reports of the incident varied- either Roehl was pointing a gun that later turned out to be a toy at them, or he refused to take his hands out of his pockets. Myky had been an amateur inventor and an activist with San Francisco Food Not Bombs. He is survived by friends, former housemates, and his cat.

I went into the list up above and corrected the date on which Gustavus Rugley was killed: 6/29/04, not 6/30/04. Thanks to his mother and his girlfriend for correcting that.
Also missing Ms. Tran

Did you even see the picture of that "vegitable peeler?" We here in AMERICA call it a meat clever. A big metal hatchet for chopping through UUHHH meat. It was not what we AMERICANS use to peel vegitables. It was over 12 inches long with a 6 inch by 4 inch sharp heavy blade. You hold that over your head and walk towards me yelling and I would shot to.
