Douglas Yon, 25, was shot and killed by Kent, Ohio, police during an early-morning response to a reported domestic dispute on December 17, 2015. Yon’s cousin had called 911 saying Yon, who did not live at the house, refused to leave and planned to attack officers with a machete. Officers say Yon ran at them with the machete, and he died at the scene at about 3:45 a.m.

The Portage County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation participated in the probe; the Portage County Prosecutor’s Office and the coroner were also involved. The officers were placed on paid administrative leave, were not questioned immediately after the shooting, and were not wearing body cameras. A patrol vehicle’s dashboard camera was facing away from the incident.

Yon's family filed a wrongful death suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio seeking more than $100,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. What details around the call, the approach to the scene, or witness accounts might help clarify what happened that night?
