On September 27, 2022, 15-year-old Savannah Graziano and her 45-year-old father Anthony were shot and killed by deputies from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department during a shootout in Hesperia, California. A day prior, Anthony Graziano had killed his estranged wife, Savannah's mother. Video of the shooting showed deputies shooting Savannah, who was unarmed, as she followed a deputy's instructions to move towards him. Police claimed she was wearing body-armor at the time of the shootout, though this is unclear in video of the incident.
