Leonardo Little, 33, died in Jacksonville on November 24, 2014, after a traffic stop for an expired tag escalated into a deadly use of force. Officer Cecil Grant of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office stopped Little, discovered he was driving on a suspended license and had a criminal history, and attempted to handcuff him. Little resisted, wrestled a Taser away from Grant despite the officer’s attempts to deploy it, and Officer Grant then fired, striking Little twice—once in the mid-section and once in the leg. Little died at the scene.

The State Attorney’s Office and a JSO Use of Force panel investigated; Officer Grant, on administrative leave at the time, had been with JSO for one year. The review concluded Grant’s use of force was justified. Little had prior arrests including three for domestic battery, two for resisting police, one for misdemeanor marijuana possession, and was classified as a habitual traffic offender. A female passenger said Little stated he did not intend to return to jail, a detail mentioned during the stop.

Does anyone have additional information about the traffic stop or the investigative findings that clarified how the panel reached its conclusion?
