"Police Seek Public's Help in Identifying Point Defiance Park Stabbing Suspect"

Tacoma Police Department released a sketch of the suspect who randomly stabbed a woman at Point Defiance Park and is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. The suspect is described as a light-skinned Black man in his 20s to 30s, and detectives are seeking dashcam video from park visitors. Temporary security cameras have been installed at the park, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

"Acquitted Washington State Officers Resign After Ellis' Death, Receive $500K Each"

Three Washington state police officers acquitted in the death of Manuel Ellis, a Black man who was shocked, beaten, and restrained, will each receive $500,000 to leave the Tacoma Police Department. The officers were cleared of criminal charges in Ellis' 2020 death, and the city released copies of the "voluntary separation" agreements with the officers as the police chief announced findings that none violated the use-of-force policy in effect at the time. The officers' acquittal and subsequent payout have sparked controversy and criticism from the community and Ellis' family, with ongoing federal review of the case by the U.S. attorney's office in Seattle.

"Tacoma Officers Cleared in Manuel Ellis' Death Resign with $500,000 Each"

Three Tacoma police officers, acquitted in the death of Manuel Ellis, a Black man who died in police custody in 2020, will each receive $500,000 for resigning from the Tacoma Police Department. The officers were cleared of departmental violations based on policies at the time, and their resignation agreements note that they will receive standard payouts and benefits as required by law. The city's chief acknowledged the detrimental impact of policing on BIPOC communities and stated that the "Use of Force" policy in place at the time of Ellis's arrest has since been revised. The agreements have been criticized as "perverse" by a lawyer for Ellis's family, who pointed out that the former officers had already been paid about $1.5 million while on leave for nearly four years.

"Acquitted Tacoma Officers to Receive $500,000 Each and Resign After Manuel Ellis' Death"

Three Washington state police officers cleared of criminal charges in the death of Manuel Ellis, a Black man who died in police custody, will each receive $500,000 to leave the Tacoma Police Department. The officers were acquitted in December, and the city released "voluntary separation" agreements with them as the police chief announced that none violated the use-of-force policy in effect at the time. The decision has sparked controversy, with critics calling it a reward for Ellis' death, while the U.S. attorney's office in Seattle is reviewing the case. Ellis' death became a focal point for racial justice protests in the Pacific Northwest, and his family settled a federal wrongful death lawsuit against Pierce County for $4 million last year.
