The Clark County sheriff’s deputy who shot an unarmed Black man he stopped over a bad tail light had previously shot at another motorist after a chase and a fight inside a stolen truck.
The 2018 encounter had some similarities to Deputy Sean Boyle’s confrontation with Jenoah Donald, a 30-year-old Clark County man who died after being shot in the head by Boyle in February 2021, according to records filed this month in U.S. District Court in Tacoma by lawyers for Donald’s family.
