Tyisha Miller
Tyisha Shenee Miller (March 3, 1979 – December 28, 1998) was an African American woman from Rubidoux, California. She was shot dead by police officers called by family members who could not wake her as she lay unconscious in a car. The incident sparked demonstrations and protests amid claims of police racism. The officers involved were fired from Riverside Police Department but did not face prosecution due to insufficient evidence.
==Background==
In the early morning hours of December 28, 1998, Tyisha Miller, a 19-year-old African American woman from Rubidoux, Riverside, California, was driving with her 15-year-old friend in her aunt's Nissan Sentra when the car's tire went flat.〔 A passing stranger helped them change the tire, but the spare was also flat, so the man led them to a filling station. But the tire would not inflate, and so Miller waited in the car while the man drove her friend home to get assistance from the family.
When relatives arrived they found Miller apparently comatose in the locked car, with the engine running and the radio on. She was shaking bodily and foaming at the mouth, and had a .380 semi-automatic pistol in her lap.〔 Unable to wake her, they called 9-1-1. Four police officers from the Riverside Police Department arrived at the scene within minutes and, informed by family members of the presence of a gun in the car, approached the vehicle with guns drawn.〔 After attempting for several minutes to get a response from Miller, the decision was made to force entry into the vehicle as Miller was in apparent need of immediate medical attention.〔 As one of the officers was attempting to remove the gun, Miller is said to have sat up and grabbed the weapon,〔 at which point the officers opened fire 23 times, hitting Miller with at least 12 bullets, including four in the head. An investigation of her death was undertaken and the officers involved, three white and one Hispanic, were placed on administrative leave. They claimed they had acted in self-defense.〔〔
In January 1999 the United States Attorney announced an investigation of the shooting would be undertaken by the FBI; at the same time protestors demanded an independent investigation, alleging that racism on the part of the police and a possible coverup of the facts.
