William Howard Green, 43, known as BooBoo to family, was shot and killed by a police officer on the night of January 27, 2020, in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Described as fun-loving, non-confrontational, devoted to his mother and children and a talented barbecue cook, Green had been found asleep in his car after striking multiple parked vehicles. Officers removed him, handcuffed him with his hands behind his back, and seated him in the front passenger seat of a police cruiser.

Shortly afterward, gunshots rang out inside the cruiser. Green was struck seven times at point-blank range, six bullets hitting his chest, and was pronounced dead at the scene. Early police statements suggested a struggle and possible PCP influence; investigators later found no evidence of a struggle and the PCP claim was retracted. Within 24 hours the involved officer, a 10-year veteran, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, first-degree assault, and using a firearm in the commission of a crime of violence. Green’s family later filed a civil lawsuit and reached a settlement for the unlawful shooting.
