Officer Wise – Baltimore County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In September 2019, Officer Wise was involved in the fatal shooting of Jamaal Taylor, a man experiencing a mental health crisis. Taylor was shot outside a store in Hunt Valley after allegedly stabbing or injuring five people. A wrongful death lawsuit filed against Baltimore County and Officers Wise and Brocato alleges that the officers failed to de-escalate the situation or seek assistance from crisis intervention teams before using deadly force. The lawsuit claims this incident is part of a pattern of excessive force used by the department against individuals with mental health issues.
