俄亥俄州阿克伦市日前开除了警察达冯·菲尔兹（Davon Fields），并同意向被其射杀的15岁少年贾兹米尔·塔克（Jazmir Tucker）的家属支付475万美元赔偿金[1]。这起致命案件发生于2024年11月[1]。
菲尔兹因多项政策违规被开除，包括未能提供适当的医疗救援以及违反执法记录仪政策[1]。市长表示："我们有责任制定政策变更，以降低今后发生此类案件的可能性。"[1]赔偿金额仍需法官批准[1]。
大陪审团在近一年前曾决定不对该警察提起诉讼[1]。对于市政府的决定，警察工会主席布莱恩·卢西（Brian Lucey）指开除"不公正"，并表示将提起上诉[1]。
The city of Akron, Ohio has terminated police officer Davon Fields following his fatal shooting of 15-year-old Jazmir Tucker in November 2024 [1]. The municipality has agreed to pay the victim's family $4.75 million in settlement, pending judicial approval [1]. Fields was dismissed for multiple policy violations, including failure to provide appropriate medical assistance and violations of body camera recording protocols [1].
The termination comes despite a grand jury's earlier decision approximately one year prior not to prosecute the officer on criminal charges [1]. City leadership emphasized the urgency of institutional reform, with the mayor stating, "We have a responsibility to make policy changes that reduce the likelihood of cases like this happening in the future" [1]. Police union president Brian Lucey has contested the dismissal as unjust and announced plans to appeal the decision [1].
