Joe Frasure, 28, died Tuesday, one day after Wyoming police officers fired four shots at him as he was behind the wheel of a minivan.

An investigation is underway after a 28-year-old Ohio man died Tuesday, a day after he was shot by police who believed he was a burglary suspect, as, his family says, he was cleaning out his late grandmother's home.

Joe Frasure was shot at early Monday in Wyoming, a city of about 9,000 about 12 miles north of downtown Cincinnati. He was hospitalized and died Tuesday, according to the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office.

Wyoming police said officers responded to an apartment building in the 300 block of Durrell Avenue shortly before 1 a.m. for a report that two to three people were trying to break into a residence.

The 911 caller said the apartment should have been vacant.

Responding officers heard activity at the rear of the building and encountered Frasure and his father in the rear driveway, Police Chief Brooke Brady said in a video statement.

She said Frasure was in a minivan and refused commands to exit.

"The minivan reversed at a high rate of speed, before hitting a tree, at which point the vehicle accelerated rapidly at our officers,” she said. “The officers fired four shots at the minivan as the minivan was accelerating towards them."

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s office said Frasure was struck in the gunfire.

After the shooting, the car struck the building.

"With the vehicle smoking and the engine still running, our officers forced their way into the minivan and pulled Mr. Frasure from it. They then provided life-saving care and he was transported to University Hospital," she said.

His cause and manner of death have not been released.

Brady said that she has reviewed officer bodycam video of the incident and that it has been shared with the sheriff's office and the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office, which are investigating.

“This is a tragedy for all involved,” Brady said. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time.”

Police did not reply to requests for further details. The prosecutor’s office said the matter is still under investigation.

Frasure's family has disputed the police account, saying he was not a burglary suspect. Rather, they say he and his father had been clearing out an apartment his grandmother lived in before she recently died, NBC affiliate WLWT of Cincinnati reported.

His sister, Shonda Coleman, told the station: “I didn’t hear none of that. I didn’t hear no commands. All I heard is pop, pop, pop, pop. Like, it was, like, 10 rounds.

"I want to see the bodycam. I want all the cops that was here, every one of them that was here, I want their information,” she said.

Prosecutors are expected to hold a news conference Friday with further information, including the officers’ bodycam video.

This doesn’t make sense to me.

Black or white, this sh*t is a problem.

We need the police car cam & body cam of the coppers

I was trying to figure out why they'd run and refuse commands. Like did they really think they'd get away in a van?

People need to mind they fu*king business. 911 caller k*lled this man because they were misinformed and nosy. Was it your home? Then shut the fu*k up.

What the fu*k rip to that young man that family going through it

I get people wanting to “watch out for your neighbors”. I’d want someone to watch my home, my moms home (as she’s older) and if some n*gga on some scurvy business. The thing is folks don’t know their neighbors like that in todays time. Most folks avoid their neighbors, most folks anti social. My neighbors know me, they can hit my business phone, not personal. Give your neighbors a Google voice number (it’s free).

Bodycam needs to drop


Already know these cops capping like a mf

I’m in a house, and while I know my neighbors and they have a #, they also know that folks come and go at all times of day and night. They should also know I’m not calling the police if I see a problem with them. I don’t want the headache.

What people don't realize is once you set a culture of violence up like the police, it's hard to turn that off and white people will catch it too. They may not stomp you out, but they damn sure gonna shoot first and ask questions later no matter the color.

Does anyone else fu*k with the Nextdoor app for their neighborhood? These white folks be on some bulls hit 24/7. It’s supposed to be an app for updates/news of your neighborhood and these fu*kers be posting sh*t like:

Anyone know these two black children walking in the street at 4pm?

Anyone seen this man. He rang my doorbell and I didn’t answer? He seemed suspicious.


Anyone see the Chevy Cruze driving down the street @ 6am. It looked suspicious.


One day someone posted: Does anyone know this man walking up and down the street at 7am. He walked down the street and came back about 3 times and I was tempted to call the police.

Dude responded with: that was me. My dog got off his leash and I was looking for him.



These mufu*kers are pieces of work for real. And don’t check the comments if you having a good day and the topic involves someone of color. Now granted about 30% of what’s posted is helpful but the rest

bodycam gonna be crazy. headshot

Ah nah, I agree with not calling the police. I was saying if they had any concerns. They can hit my line. I'll handle it.

I need footage

i agree, but in this case the homeowner was dead and the son & grandson from out of town were cleaning out the place at 1AM. I don’t blame the neighbor on this one. It’s a very unfortunate situation.

Prayers and condolences to that family ! Police accounts of the incident is definitely a lie , wish that neighbor who called was sentenced to jail for murder .,

That's hard to say cuz if you're neighbour's home was really being broke into as a regular citizen I hope you would call the cops.
Problem is there's too many "Karens" or whatever name you wanna give to it that think they see something when they don't, call the cops and now the cops are showing up to the scene reacting to what the call was about.
This bi*ch, male or female, was saying someone was breaking into houses so the cops are already showing up ready to deal with that type of situation so they're probably more aggressive in the first place so I do know what you're saying

I just told someone the other day that the policing in America is no longer a black vs. white thing, it has become a police vs. citizen thing. Craziness!

Cleaning up @ 1am … bruh must been bored af … he couldn’t do that during the day … damm RIP
