Jean Charles De Menezes (born 1978) was a Brazilian migrant electrician who was shot and killed by armed officers at Stockwell Tube station on 22 July 2005 after being mistaken for Hussein Osman - one of the four 21/7 bombers.
He was shot 7 times in the head and once in the shoulder. Nobody has ever been held responsible for his death.[1]
His death was the first under the 2001 Operation Kratos strategy.
