Paul Ray Kemp Jr, a 40-year-old man from Inglewood, California, was shot dead in the early hours of June 27, 2014. Officers had responded to a call of unknown trouble on the 3800 block of West 113th Street and found Kemp involved in a physical altercation. When officers ordered those fighting to stop, Kemp ran and was pursued by an Inglewood police sergeant. The pursuit ended in a front yard struggle during which the sergeant fired multiple rounds; Kemp was struck six times and was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 3 a.m. The coroner also noted Kemp had been struck by a Taser, and an officer was shot in the hand and hospitalized.

Kemp’s family and community activists raised questions about the necessity and proportionality of force used, noting reports that Kemp was unarmed. The department conducted an internal review, but details of any disciplinary actions or the investigation’s outcomes have not been widely reported. Does anyone have reliable information or firsthand knowledge about this incident or its investigation?
