Marcus Harper died after a high-speed police pursuit in which he had no part. Harper’s death sparked Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine to form a group to study such policies and suggest a statewide standard.
DeWine’s 12-member group announced via press release this month said 352 people, including one officer and 147 bystanders, were killed in law enforcement pursuits from 1982 to 2014.
“I’m not judging that one,” DeWine said of Harper’s death. “But here you had someone (innocent) who was killed, so it just got me back thinking about the question.
“We have in this state over 900 law enforcement agencies. There is no statewide policy. And it’s not just about how the pursuit is conducted, it’s also about whether you initiate the chase to begin with.”
Harper, 50, of Xenia, died March 17 when Kyndra J. Shackelford drove an allegedly stolen Chevrolet Impala that T-boned Harper’s 1993 Chevrolet Blazer at the intersection of Wagner Ford Road and Needmore Road in Harrison Twp. Huber Heights police pursued Shackelford up to 83 miles per hour.
