Law enforcement tasked with investigating the fatal police shooting of a 30-year-old Black man in Hazel Dell say they anticipate they’ll finalize their findings within the next week.
Jenoah Donald, of Battle Ground, died Feb. 12, eight days after he was shot once in the head by Clark County sheriff’s Deputy Sean Boyle, according to investigators and his family’s attorney. Deputies responding to a neighborhood call had stopped Donald for a bad taillight.
The Southwest Washington Independent Investigative Response Team, led by the Vancouver Police Department, is investigating the shooting. They are awaiting information from the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab regarding items that were submitted for processing, the police department said Thursday.
Those items include the vest worn by Boyle at the time of the shooting. Results of that submission are pending, investigators said.
