Devan Desnoyers, 26, was shot and killed by police in Westlake, Ohio, on October 10, 2016, after an alleged robbery at a CVS pharmacy that same morning. He fled in a white Mazda that crashed at Detroit and Crocker roads. Two Westlake officers — a 38-year-old with 13 years’ experience and a 28-year-old with three years’ experience — fired as Desnoyers exited the vehicle. He was taken to St. John Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Investigators recovered a firearm or a realistic-looking replica at the scene. Desnoyers had been indicted in April 2016 on two counts of burglary and two counts of theft/aggravated theft and was out on a $5,000 bond. He had also been linked to a string of CVS robberies in Northeast Ohio where notes were reportedly used to claim a gun.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and local agencies reviewed the shooting; a Cuyahoga County grand jury declined to charge the officers, finding they faced an apparent life-threatening situation. Did anyone have direct knowledge of Desnoyers’ movements that morning or the crash at Detroit and Crocker roads?
