Police killed a total of 1051 people this year according to Mapping Police Violence (MPV), a nonprofit organization that tracks fatal encounters with police.
Black people continue to be disproportionately impacted by police violence, the data shows. Black people account for 27 percent of those killed by police in 2021 (of those whose race is known), despite making up 13 percent of the U.S. population.
They are being killed at similar rates to previous years, the data shows, despite a national reckoning sparked by the police killings of George Floyd and other Black people.
Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police, yet 1.3 times more likely to be unarmed compared to white people, according to MPV.
The organization’s data also shows that most police killings began with traffic stops, mental health checks, disturbances, non-violent offenses and instances where no crime was alleged.
Here are the names (where available), ages and locations of the Black people killed by police in 2021:
