A passing stranger helped them change the tire, but the spare was also flat, so the man led them to a gas station. The tire would not inflate, and so Miller waited in the car while the man drove her friend home to get assistance from the family. When relatives arrived they found Miller apparently comatose in the locked car, with the engine running and the radio on. She was shaking bodily and foaming at the mouth, and had a .380 semi-automatic pistol in her lap. Unable to wake her, they called 9-1-1. Four officers from the Riverside Police Department arrived at the scene within minutes and, informed by family members of the presence of a gun in the car, approached the vehicle with guns drawn. After attempting for several minutes to get a response from Miller, the decision was made to force entry into the vehicle as Miller was in apparent need of immediate medical attention. As one of the officers was attempting to remove the gun, Miller is said to have sat up and grabbed the weapon,[ at which point the officers opened fire 23 times, hitting Miller with at least 12 bullets, including four in the head.

Anderson’s family said she had bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. At some point during the fatal police encounter, she stopped breathing. Anderson was dead by the time she arrived at the hospital. Wearing only in a nightgown, with no shoes on, Tanisha was disoriented and kept trying to leave the house. Joell Anderson – who as a child had been his two sisters’ appointed protector, walking them to school every day, warning them off strangers – was the one who made the first 911 call. Two sets of police officers arrived instead of an ambulance. Anderson seemed calmer for a time, but then the family called again. The second set of cops, they claim, were ruder and more brusque. They were Detective Scott Aldridge, a seven-year veteran of the force, and his partner Brian Meyers. They told the family to stay in the house and walked Anderson to their patrol car.

Two police officers, 26-year-old Timothy Loehmann and 46-year-old Frank Garmback, responded after receiving a police dispatch call "of a male black sitting on a swing and pointing a gun at people" in a city park.[3][4][5] A caller reported that a male was pointing "a pistol" at random people in the Cudell Recreation Center. At the beginning of the call and again in the middle he says of the pistol "it's probably fake".[6] Toward the end of the two-minute call, the caller stated "he is probably a juvenile".[7] However, this information was not relayed to Loehmann or Garmback on the initial dispatch.[8][9] The officers reported that upon their arrival, Rice reached towards a gun in his waistband. The officer's claim was later confirmed with enhanced video evidence.[10] Within two seconds of arriving on the scene, Loehmann fired two shots, without yelling at Rice to drop the gun, in response to the replica weapon being drawn by Rice,[10][11][12] hitting Rice once in the torso.[4][13] He died on the following day.[14] Rice's gun was later found to be an Airsoft replica that lacked the orange safety feature marking it as a replica and not a true firearm.

The chase went up to speeds of 100 mph and a total of 62 police cars were involved at one point. After a 22-mile chase, Russell turned into Heritage Middle School, located in East Cleveland. Police officers believed they saw a firearm in the car and that Russell was planning on running them over. When one of the police opened fire at the vehicle, the other 13 officers also fired.

At 8:39 a.m, 3 police officers were patrolling on bicycles and "made eye contact" with Gray, who proceeded to flee on foot "unprovoked upon noticing police presence". After a brief chase, Gray was apprehended and taken into custody "without the use of force or incident" as one of the police "noticed a knife clipped to the inside of his [Gray's] front right pocket". The knife was recovered by this officer and found to be a spring assisted one hand operated knife." However, the spring-assisted knife Gray was carrying was legal under Maryland law. Video recordings by two bystanders capturing Gray's arrest showed Gray, screaming in pain, being dragged to a police van by officers, and then stepping up into the van. A bystander with connections to Gray stated that the officers were previously "folding" Gray: one officer bent Gray's legs backwards, and another held Gray down by pressing a knee into his neck. Witnesses commented Gray "couldn't walk", "can't use his legs", and "his leg look broke and you all dragging him like that". According to the police timeline, Gray was placed in a transport van within 11 minutes of his arrest, and within 30 minutes, paramedics were summoned to take Gray to a hospital. The van made four confirmed stops while Gray was detained. At 8:46 a.m., Gray was unloaded in order to be placed in leg irons because police said he was acting irate. At 9:24 a.m., the transport van arrived at its final stop, the West District police station. ''After paramedics treated Gray for 21 minutes, he was taken to the University of Maryland R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at 9:45 a.m. in a coma and later died from injuries on his spine.''
