T7. Ohio: 19
In a tie for seventh is Ohio, where nineteen have been killed. Most recently was Dontae Martin, who was involved in a car wreck and was shot when he exited his vehicle with a firearm, according to police.
Back in November 2014, 12 year old Tamir Rice (see the unfortunately familiar image above) was shot by a cop in Cleveland, sending the nation into an uproar. While not nearly so young, 18 year old Brandon Jones was shot after robbing a store for some cigarettes. Two Ohio men, James Payne and Nyal Brown, were killed in auto accidents with police. Payne was killed when his motorcycle was hit by a cop making an illegal left turn back in June.
