On September 14, 2013, Jonathan Ferrell (born 11 October 1988[2]), a 24-year-old former college football player for the Florida A&M University Rattlers, allegedly charged at and was shot and killed by police officer Randall "Wes" Kerrick in Charlotte, North Carolina.[3] Kerrick was charged with voluntary manslaughter, but not convicted.

Ferrell, an African American, was unarmed at the time he was shot. While giving a co-worker a lift home on the night of September 14, 2013,[4] he crashed his car, went to a house in the Bradfield Farms neighborhood and knocked on the door. The resident, Sarah McCartney, called the police and three officers came.[5][6][7][8] Ferrell then ran towards them, whereupon one of the officers fired a taser at Ferrell and missed.[3] That same officer, Officer Thornel Little, testified that Ferrell had said "shoot me" twice as he ran up on the officers. Kerrick then opened fire on Ferrell, shooting him twelve times and killing him.[3]

A toxicology test of Ferrell's blood showed a blood alcohol level within the legal limit for driving.[8]
The day following the shooting, Officer Randall "Wes" Kerrick was charged with voluntary manslaughter, and was released on $45,000 bail from jail. On January 21, 2014, a grand jury declined to indict Kerrick with voluntary manslaughter.[9] On January 27, a second grand jury did indict Kerrick on a voluntary manslaughter charge.[10] On August 21, 2015, a 26th District judge declared a mistrial in the case after the jury reached a deadlock, with eight jurors on one side and four on the other.[4] The Attorney General of North Carolina, Roy Cooper, said that the state would not re-try Kerrick.[5][6]

On May 14, 2015, the city of Charlotte settled a separate lawsuit with Ferrell's family for $2.25 million.[11][12]
